Sun Startup Essentials Masterclass
Description
Brand strategy is one of the most fraught areas of marketing, though also one of the most important. As a Startup it's often the element that gets left behind and not really identified. But how can you tell an investor what business you are in, if you don't really know yourself?
It's a vital step in creating the company identity.
The key point is you can’t have a strategy without a clear objective.
Restating a goal is not strategy, execution is not strategy, and tactics are not strategy. This masterclass will demonstrate why a strategic approach to brand management can play a crucial role in defining a strong, winning identity for your company.
What does this mean ?When you're talking to investors, you'll be able to clearly articulate who your market is, describe how talking and listening to your customers will better equip you to target your audience and take your message out, in these tough economic times.
Why should I attend this masterclass?Because you will learn to define:
- what business are we REALLY in?
- in that context, what's our positioning? who are our key stakeholders? Which are most important at this stage?
- can we crisply define and communicate the compelling value we offer?
- what are our core and secondary value propositions?
having established all the above, are we able - in plain language and briefly - to communicate our differentiated and powerful branding to clients, partners, media and investors?
