Branding has never mattered more then it does today. A strong
brand is the most effective way of truly reaching people's hearts and minds. But there's a flip side. It's safe to say, consumers today are more skeptical and less trusting of corporations. It's also safe to say that with the proliferation of social media, blogs and online resources...your brand is not your control anymore. So, what to do? Hear examples and case studies of organizations that embraced Open Branding...and those who haven't.
You'll leave with a list of no no's and must do's to avoid the pitfalls others have experienced.

Let's face it...we don't read any more. We skim, scan and read snippets of information. If a picture is worth a thousand words...and people don't read...you do the math! To brand effectively, your marketing must consistently and succinctly communicate using visualization.
Learn techniques on how to connect and enhance your messaging through effective visualization.
