Brand Thinking for Entrepreneurs

MasterClass by The Brandling hosted by GrowthAfrica

Are you a small or growing business?On the road to a successful venture, an entrepreneur has to master many aspects of business: legal matters, logistics, finance. Few areas can seem as elusive and hard to grasp as branding. As an entrepreneur, examples such as Apple or Coca Cola might inspire, but fail to offer any concrete guildeline or alternative strategies for those who do not have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on branding. In this 2.5 hour workshop Anne Miltenburg opens up the thought model behind branding and how you can use it to get the support you need – from investors, clients, users, partners, press and potential future employees
