Increase brand appeal sustainably: Strategies, methods & instruments of integrated brand management
The art of successful brand management is mastering the fine line between continuity and brand development. The starting point for defining the corridor of action is brand positioning. The two-day event hosted by Eyes & Ears of Europe deals with the fundamentals and requirements of successful brand management by means of practical examples. It will point out the opportunities and pitfalls, the tops and the flops.
The process will be illustrated with the help of case studies from GMK brand consultancy – especially from the comprehensive brand strategy and implementation process at WDR – and cover the positioning of a brand to the development of a corporate design to the transition to the various points of contact. Using instruments that have proven successful in more than 10 years of brand consulting practice, workshop participants will develop a positioning for a media brand and will identify possible starting points for further optimisation of 'their' brand.
This event is primarily aimed at decision makers in the fields of marketing, promotion, design and programme management at broadcasting and production companies, as well as leaders at agencies in the media industry who want to learn more about brand management strategies and methods.
