We start the morning by discussing what is a brand is and find out that it is about much more than logos, typefaces, and colourways.
It is actually about perception of your business – and so very important to develop or enhance your brand. If you get your brand right, then other parts of the jigsaw fall into place.
Key is to understand why you’re in business, set out how you do business and then – but only then – think about what you do. The point of any enterprise is to create value. What do you
create?
We then look at brand strategy – in other words, how to build the brand that you need. A firm is usually compared to others, so we take a look at brand positioning.
Most people concentrate on brand preference, rather than brand relevance; we discover that, in fact, this is the wrong approach.
We end by looking at brand portfolios – which SMEs have as often as multinationals – and the importance of brand equity when it comes to raising finance or selling your business.
