Then comes marketing leadership to drive the implementation.

It will start with the steps required to develop a superior brand strategy. Beginning with the concept of 'value', it will teach you how to formulate a proposition that will attract and retain more customers, and the right customers. It then focuses on how to implement the proposition into not only the marketing mix,but into every aspect of the organization, getting the support of key cross-functional areas to bring the brand strategy to life.

By the end of this course, you will know how to develop a winning brand strategy, and leverage it internally and with customers, for the ultimate end result - Living Your Brand for higher market share, and higher profits for your firm.
