Spring 2018 | Building Your Brand DNA and Business Model Roadmap

I have a great concept but what do I do to make my concept not only a reality but also a thriving business?

Your concept is one thing but your brand is what brings your concept to life and is the vehicle by which your concept can exist in a competitive market. Whether you’ve already launched your concept or you’re just in the beginning stages of building about your business, we will go over all the foundation steps to creating your unique Brand DNA and Business Model.

If you have already launched, this workshop will help you gain a better understanding of your concept while giving you a tighter, more effective brand. If you are just beginning with a concept, this workshop will help you construct your Branding and Business Model roadmap for when you launch in the marketplace.

We will also address topics like goal setting, strategy and design thinking. With worksheets, learning from cross-industry examples and dynamic conversation you will walk away with a well-defined concept, a deeper understanding of your business and confidence in your position in the market.

  • Pillars, Mission & Elevator Pitch: Through specific approaches and exercises, this is how you begin to define your business concept and Brand DNA.
  • Business Strategy & Strategy Canvassing: how to outline and define your Business Model and defining the marketplace in which the business operates.
