In today's fiercely competitive business landscape, a strong brand is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Your brand is the essence of your identity, differentiating you from competitors and building trust with your audience. This is why the Forum are inviting you to step into the world of revolutionary branding with James Allen and Gary Pickering, Guerilla Communications, the strategic minds behind many well-known global brands.
This exclusive interactive workshop is a must-attend event for anyone looking to supercharge their brand and accelerate their business growth. Under Guerilla’s expert guidance, companies have not only created but reinvented their brands to echo the core of their business plans. Their award-winning approach has helped many of their clients expand at breakneck speed, launching them to new heights.
In this session James and Gary will divulge the secrets to creating award-winning global brand strategies, sharing their unique perspective on what it takes to revolutionise your brand and use it as a catalyst for growth.
But as branding is not always plain sailing, the team will also share their 'warts and all' experiences, of what happens ‘when fate really does vomit on your branding eider down’, including the antics involved in hiring Kim Kardashian, through to how the unforeseen arrest of Adam Ant almost threatened to derail an £8 million profile national branding campaign.
Designed for both leaders and their teams, come along and find out how you can 'Revolutionise Your Brand'. Disclaimer, some degree of fun and Guerilla-style tactics are guaranteed. You and your brand may never be the same again!
