Overview

Most organisations consider their brand name and logo to be their “brand”. In today’s digital age, this approach is no longer enough, and will result in disappointing brand performance. Why? If you take away the name and logo, there is nothing left. There is no brand, and people will not pay for nothing.

Organisations that enjoy the benefits of a powerful brand move beyond the “brand is a logo” mindset. They define and then consistently express their brand through design, communications, behaviour and digital tools. To reach this stage, brands must have a carefully considered Strategic Brand Plan.

This highly interactive course utilities the “Strategic Brand Blueprint” to help participants develop a robust and impactful brand strategy.
