Brand strategy is one of the most fraught areas of marketing, though also one of the most important. As a Startup it's often the element that gets left behind and not really identified. But how can you tell an investor what business you are in, if you don't really know yourself? It's a vital step in creating the company identity.

The key point is you can’t have a strategy without a clear objective. Restating a goal is not strategy, execution is not strategy, and tactics are not strategy. This masterclass will demonstrate why a strategic approach to brand management can play a crucial role in defining a strong, winning identity for your company.

What does this mean ?

When you're talking to investors, you'll be able to clearly articulate who your market is, describe how talking and listening to your customers will better equip you to target your audience and take your message out, in these tough economic times.

    Tue 24th Nov Dreamweaver Meetup Group, Charing Cross, London

    1km away in City of London

    This is a Meetup group for those who use or who are interested in Adobe Dreamweaver which is a software system used for building websites. It is a good time to come along to the group as it is possible to get involved at the beginning. Because it is early days there is no formal structure to the meeting. It is a good opportunity however to meet people at all levels of experience, have a chat, ask questions and show work.
