The words “brand” and “branding” are thrown around in casual conversation so frequently now we are still surprised to find not every business person knows what they mean.

Some business managers refer to their products as brands, probably a carryover from the early P&G days. Some still think their logo, package or trademark is the brand. Some mistakenly believe they have total control of their customer’s brand experience. And many think branding is just another word for marketing.

In simple, straightforward terms, this presentation provides the basics for you and everyone in your organization.

• What is a brand?
• How does it differ from a commodity?
• Why are brands built on intangibles?
• Does everyone perceive a brand in the same way?
• When and where do brands come in contact with the audience?
• Who in the organization affects the brand experience?
• What is the goal of branding?
• What are the advantages?
• And, finally, what are “The 9 Criteria for Brand Essence™”?

How will you better define and leverage the unique experience of your brand with your audience?
