The Building The Brand Course

Branding has always been a vital part of business, but it may be more important now than ever before. With social media, consumers are exposed to hundreds of new brands every day. This can be great for those with plenty of time and options who are able to research the best one, but it makes it harder for small businesses to stand out. There’s a huge amount of competition today, so businesses need to go the extra mile in ensuring they are easily recognisable and stand out in a crowd. Small businesses often leave the brand at designing its logo, yet research suggests that investing in a strong brand which has the power to get and keep people’s attention is priceless. With the right branding, you have the chance to control how people perceive your business, its mission, and its values. You don’t want to overlook this.

The Ideal Student

This pathway is designed for individuals, start-ups, freelancers, and small businesses looking for creative ways to reinvigorate their brand. This course takes you on a journey beyond the logo, and shows you how to transform the user experience with something as simple as a memorable tag line. The course can help you to bake the essence of who you are – and who you want to be – into the brand you create. It will support you in building a brand that will be easily recognisable beyond you as a founder. This course is focused, detailed, and walks you through what a brand should be, step-by-step.
