Professional Network Forum - Driving Growth for Small and Medium Sized Businesses
Speaker: Graeme Gladman and Jason Eisner, Founders, BrandQuest
Date: 23rd June 2009 | Location: North Sydney
For many small businesses, branding is as mysterious as the meaning of life and makes BAS statements seem like a ‘walk in the park’. Far too many small businesses fail at marketing because they fail to understand the importance of branding as an outcome of their marketing strategy. Branding is the ‘repeated and consistent’ messages that create awareness of your benefits, and lay the groundwork for a trusting relationship.
