Outcome

Your brand building expertise accelerated so you can increase sales


The Persona Branding Accelerator Masterclass is a half-day brand strategy programme under Lorraine Carter’s direction and tutelage — empowering you to accelerate your business growth.  

This programme is not about design.

It’s all about branding because brand strategy is the bedrock foundation supporting and directing your whole business, enabling you to stand out strongly, command a premium and increase sales.

More Details About What’s Included

1. The fundamentals of what makes up a strong brand using big-brand know-how, what branding is and isn’t and how to build a strong brand — we also demystify all the mis-information around branding and give you the facts so you can implement these critical strategies in your business.

2. We focus on brand positioning because it’s one of the most effective ways to become a market and industry leader — and used by all the most successful brands in the world, small and large. At the end of this session you’ll know a lot more about how to make your brand stand out, carve your place in the market and write your positioning statement.

3. Brand personality is a key area we focus on during the Branding Accelerator Masterclass too because the personality of your brand determines the relationship your customer has with your brand so that when that connection is a well a developed, emotional one, it drives referral and repeat purchase and so increases sales. So we focus on how to build your brand’s personality to stand out.

And we’re not talking about mascots, VIP’s or celebrities either!

4. We also focus on brand purpose. Why is brand purpose so critical to your success? Because people don’t buy what you do. They buy why you do it. So when you’re clear on your brand purpose, it acts as the overall steering mechanism for the business.

This section gives you the:
  • How and why brands with strong purpose are more successful and profitable
  • How to identify your brand purpose
  • Five key factors of a strong brand purpose

5. And because every brand, small and large, needs regular health checks to ensure peak performance, maintain market relevance and high visibility so you can increase perceived value, command a premium and continue to grow and increase sales we look at brand audits, what they are, what they typically entail and how to leverage them.

Note: We’re not talking about a quick check of the numbers either!

6. Finally because no brand is immune to change, its merely a matter of what, why and when because as sure as night follows day your brand will need some level of change in its life-cycle to remain commercially viable and successful we also focus on how to rebrand or refresh your brand successfully along with:

  • The top 20 rebranding essential success factors
  • The rebrand and brand refresh or brand revitalisation process
  • 16 reasons for rebranding or a brand refresh
  • The most common mistakes to avoid
When we talk about rebranding or brand refreshes, we’re NOT talking about superficial design changes or logo updates!

“The Maguire & Paterson brand was established in 1882 and therefore the rebranding and new packaging had to be managed in a very sensitive and caring manner.

Persona Branding & Design worked very effectively with the M&P management team ensuring that the findings of consumer research were correctly interpreted and factored into the brand revitalization and new range designs. We found their ability to steer us of significant benefit.

Persona Branding & Design also ensured that we kept our focus on core objectives and diplomatically challenged us at various stages on our thought process, ensuring that any brand preferences did not stray from the core objectives.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Persona Branding & Design and we would be very pleased to speak with any potential client(s).”

Neil ScaifeHead of Commercial Control | SHS Sales & Marketing Ltd

“For anyone who has a well established business or even a start-up I would totally recommend to come to this Masterclass because it will provide them with a new perspective on how to think of their brand. You see in different markets and industries that are overly competitive what makes the difference is knowing what exactly your business is all about and why people would choose you instead of any other competitor.

What makes you different from all the other service or product providers in the market because that’s whats going to make your business be the No.1 choice in the range of those specific products or services that you’re providing. Also thats what’s going to make your brand standout and have a long lasting life and thrive in the context of where you’re operating and delivering value. So totally go for it!

The Masterclass provides you with a lot of insight and more than that, with a systematic process that’s easy for you to understand, easy for you to grasp, easy for you to work with so you finally nail what makes you different in your business, and what you are about and what those key points are that resonate with your audience.”

Camelia PaduraruOwner | Crafting Minds

“I really appreciate Lorraine’s energy and passion. Although good branding includes so many facets, Lorraine is able to simplify the process and make it so much more tangible for any company to put into practice.”

Lisa Kettman-KervinenMarketing Communication Specialist | The Switch

“Lorraine Carter is my branding mentor, she’s the person that showed me how to improve my business and personal brands — they were a mess when she initially looked at what we had — and she blew my mind! I’ve paid high fees to other ‘supposed’ brand consultants who only had 30% of her in-depth expertise and they couldn’t deliver on what we needed.

Lorraine takes no name companies and transforms them into household brand names. Most importantly, she’s great fun, absolutely passionate about branding and she’ll entertain you whilst demystifying branding and making the unknown clearer — because designing a logo is only a tiny part of your entire branding process.

She gives you the key foundations and lays things out in an easy to use system which gives you all the essentials needed to make your brand stand out, to make your brand highly visible. If you work with her and use her branding system you’ll soon have everyone talking about your product or service to become No.1 in your market.”

Ozana GiuscaFounder & CEO | Tooliers

“An excellent Masterclass that provides an informative guide on how to structure your brand’s development whether you are a launching a new brand, refreshing a existing one and/or conducting a review of your brand to ascertain possible weaknesses.”

“I have had the benefit of working alongside Lorraine Carter with mutual clients and will happily do so again.

Lorraine understands the power of brands for businesses in a way that makes practical sense to businesses. Her dedication to her craft is a great credit to her along with her attention to her clients and the details that matter.

Lorraine understands how to work with people who don’t work with brands on a daily basis and above all Lorraine has a bottom line value orientation. I look forward to continuing working with Lorraine and her team at Persona Branding & Design.”

Dave Gribben Enable Better Business

“Win their hearts to move their minds, this are the eight words that would best sum up these two days in Lorraine Carter’s Branding Mastermind. A very, very, very, warm and fun professional to work with. Someone that has taught me how to further engage my clients in the results they want. And also someone that has delivered a very hands on instrument to work with no matter where I intend to use it, either in my PR business or with my clients to assist them in achieving their results.

If you are an entrepreneur and you know what you want to sell, either a product or a service, and it’s really good quality but you just can’t grasp the how to communicate your message to your core audience, Lorraine Carter is the person you want to work with in order to figure that out and also take you to the next level.”
