A brand without a strategy is like a teenager without a therapist.

Potentially misguided. Definitely unpredictable. And a little unhinged.
A strategy is the guiding light for brands, helping them see themselves in full and articulate who they really and truly are.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE.
Let's face it - it's expensive to bring in a consultant or agency to develop your brand strategy. Through this course, we'll walk you through the process that gives you a strong brand foundation - all in a digital, on -demand forum.
You'll get to know your customers better than ever before, you'll know your exact positioning in the market and you'll have complete clarity on what to say and how to say it.
We can be your brand therapist strategist.
daily decisions to be made
Cash flow! Investment! Money. The necessities of all start-ups. Not wanting to waste a penny, it can be hard to know where to allocate both your time and money.
What's the best use of my budget?
Time might be the most precious commodity a founder has - and certainly the most finite. We know every minute counts.
What's the best use of my time?
You can't be an expert in every part of your company. It's all about knowing when to dig into the detail and when to get some outside perspective.
What if I don't have the expertise?
Expensive agencies are not the only option.
gain clarity in your brand
Know your brand inside and out. With a strong foundation, you can instantly know what's 'on brand' for you.

Brand Strategy 101
The fundamentals
We'll first establish some of the foundational lessons and theories of brand strategy, so you have all the context and 'best practice' needed. We analyse why some brands have succeeded and where others have failed, emphasising what can be learned from these examples.
Course breakdown:
PART 1
Your customer
We'll learn everything there is to know about your customers. Getting into your priority personas, we'll identify who you're speaking to, what they care about, and why they'll like you.
PART 2
Identity & positioning
First, we establish who you are, articulating your vision, purpose, mission and values (confirming the difference between them all!). Then, we establish where you sit in the market, which brings us to our brand promise, value proposition and more.
PART 3
Brand expression
It's not enough to know what to say. We also have to know how we're going to say it. We'll identify what feels 'on-' and 'off-brand', getting you to the 'sweet spot' of your brand.
From there, we'll get into the next steps and how this strategy can be entrenched in all parts of your business.
PART 4
The application
The strategy you have just developed will be so much more than a document that collects digital dust. We'll look at the next steps of how you bring this to life and how it continues to direct your campaigns.

ad-hoc sanity check-ins
It's easy to get too far down the rabbit hole, resulting in a lack of perspective and a complete questioning of whether 'strategy' is even spelt 'strategy'. For those times, book a call with our founder and lead brand strategist. Send her your progress or brain-dump on the call, getting you to a place of greater clarity.
