In a face-paced world, strong brands are solid as a rock – they provide certainty and value for consumers and companies alike. They belong to the most important intangible assets of companies. Consequently, creating and sustaining brands is imperative. With strong brands, companies can build value and leverage growth while also being able to differentiate existing and potential competition. Furthermore, they are less vulnerable to competitor actions and crises, which instead, lets them enjoy the loyalty, engagement, and advocacy behaviors of customers. In short: a strong brand is often the tip of the scales when it comes to the long-term success of a company. This program is especially suited for participants who want to get a holistic and strategic perspective on brands, in addition to developing or refining their skills and understanding in branding.
