Course Introduction 

The aim of the course is to change the conception of brands as being an organisation’s visual identity (e.g., logo) and image (customers’ brand associations) to an experience along “moments-that-matter” along the customer journey and, therefore, delivered by people across the entire organisation. Brands are thus not only an external promise to customers, but a means of executing business strategy via internal brand-led behaviour and culture change.

You Will Learn

Upon completion of this course you will learn and practice the following skills:

-How to build brands from a broad organisational perspective

-How to lead brand-led culture change with human resource practices at the core (i.e., brand as a lever and not just an outcome)

-How to build brands in multi-brand companies, across cultures and geographies

-How to measure brand health in new ways, that is, internally in addition to externally

-How to value and capture returns to brands across the organisation – introducing the new concept of employee-based brand equity – and how this is different from the valuation of brands as intangible assets.
