BRAND BUILDING TRAINING
for tech-driven companies (OCT’23)
What is the purpose of this training?
We live in a world dominated by social media, constant flow of information and a crisis of trust for the “established” authorities – brands included.
In order to build strong and meaningful brands which people want to have in their lives, the classic principles and rules of branding and marketing are still important in this reality, yet not enough. Especially when it comes to tech brands.
In contrast to brands in the sector of fast-moving goods, luxury goods etc, which already have well-established communication practices, IT and tech-driven brands require a different approach. And many of them are just starting to build their own models of managing the brand and its communication activities.
The purpose of this course is to offer an approach and specific steps in the development of meaningful brands in the IT and tech-driven industry which
- have something important to say because they are clear on their essence, purpose and direction forward
- actually make it easier to attract and retain both clients and employees
- make people feel truly connected to itself.
Our job at the other half is to make this deeper level seen, felt and understood by people, and manageable by the business.
And in doing so, to unleash the full potential of the brand to drive success and achieve change.
Who is this training for?
This program is created for the professionals in the Marketing / Employer branding teams of the technology/IT sector – or the ones who aim to build their career in these fields.
