I had a great time presenting  “How to Make Your Brand Work”  at JobSkills last week  to a diverse and enthusiastic group of entrepreneurs. It’s always gratifying to talk about how branding can help businesses or organizations large and small  to define themselves, stand out from competitors, be memorable, authentic, and achieve their marketing objectives.

Making Your Brand WORK for You

1. Define your business
2. Communicate your business
3. Stand out from your competitors
4. Be memorable
5. Be professional
6. Establish credibility

G is for… Green Brandstorm!

Sherri facilitates the Green Citizen Brand Exploration Session at Seneca College

The Office of Eco-Seneca initiatives (OESi) at Seneca College was developed to promote awareness and increase knowledge of environmental and sustainability issues throughout Seneca, and beyond. OESi’s most recent initiative is Seneca Green Citizen Campaign. As an important step in branding the campaign, G Strategic was thrilled to have the opportunity to consult directly with Green Citizen’s primary audience – the students.

Sherri designed and facilitated a series of “brandstorming” sessions to question student’s potential engagement prior to the full campaign launch in 2012/2013. Three classes of students from the Green Business Management and Marketing programs were asked: “What would it take to get ALL Seneca students excited about being Green Citizens?” Participants were invited to brainstorm ideas that would raise awareness, generate interest and enthusiasm among their fellow students for the campaign.

Direct consultation allows an organization to base communications strategy on solid ground, increasing the probability of successfully reaching strategic objectives. G Strategic believes strongly in the added value of brandsorming!
