Think of a brand as a neutral third space where humans interface with a non-human entity. That’s a tall order: how exactly do you create something human, engaging, and inspiring? And if you believe the adage that we do business with people we know and trust, then that interface is everything for moving your enterprise’s efforts forward. Branding for the Rest of Us simplifies the branding process. Using a template anyone can scale and use for the strategic context, you will walk away from the session with a tangible model to create and manage a brand. And the session will challenge you to think of branding with a new perspective: branding is not a marketing discipline. It’s a leadership discipline.
