Brand and Reputation Management
Personal brand management
All of us need to build our personal brand and start thinking about how we present ourselves to potential employers. Much like corporate branding, personal branding is a representation of you on an individual level, and although you may think that personal branding isn’t necessary for you, if you use Google, Facebook, Twitter, Chrome or any other online service that requires some of your private information, your online persona is already being documented. Taking control of how you present yourself is the best way to handle how you are perceived.
Brand management for SMEs – workshop
Brand building and brand management has traditionally been seen as being only for big businesses with millions to spend. However, changing market conditions have seen SMEs start to rethink their brands in light of an increase in domestic and international competition, consumer purchasing restraint and waning consumer trust. More than ever before, it is important for SMEs to build their brand profile, to elevate transparency, build trust, and add value – essentially ensuring a sustainable business moving forward. This workshop shares valuable insight into tricks to use when developing a brand plan, as well as the steps involved with implementing it.
Messaging workshop
It takes careful consideration and time to get your marketing messaging right, which is why many businesses look to their “About Us” page to describe what they do and for whom. This approach does not work, as it tends to be about the business itself, and not about the people you are really needing to connect with – your customers. Correcting your marketing, positioning, and messaging is a vital step towards building your overall business identity. This workshop will share tips on how to do things the right the way from the start, and how to clearly communicate your business value.
Media engagement (training)
Dealing with the media can be a daunting task, but it is a vital skill for those looking to increase their media profiles. These sessions will teach small businesses, individuals and corporates media etiquette, including how to deal with the media, including understanding the publication you’re pitching to, identifying good story angles, as well as fielding some of the more difficult questions that may arise. This workshop is aimed at all levels.
Corporate training
Organisations spend vast amounts of money and resources on their external relations and communications, but too often neglect internal marketing and communications to their employees. The sharing of information between employers, employees and colleagues is crucial to fostering understanding between management and staff, and keeping business strategies and goals aligned to individual objectives. This session will teach effective communication, and how to deliver said communication using the appropriate channels tailor-made to your audience.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
