Build Your Highly Profitable Standout Brand

with

The Persona Brand Building Blueprint™ Mastermind

Branding is NOT marketing or design but the bedrock strategy supporting and directing your whole business.

So the question is, when did you last re-evaluate the structural foundations of your business?

The business world is in a constant state of flux.

Markets change, new trends emerge, disruptive competitors alter long-standing rules and customer preferences evolve — all of which impacts your business’s performance and your brand.

Consequently, brands and the strategies underpinning business are constantly evolving to ensure future growth and relevance. Even the longest standing and greatest brands in the world need brand audits and rejuvenation, if not a total rebrand, in order to maintain their market leadership.

Brand refreshes, revitalization or rebranding and the strategy underlying those processes can take many guises from the complete wholesales change of a company, services or product, to something less dramatic and of a more subtle, evolutionary nature in the form of a brand refresh. All are strategic business performance decisions. In fact, this branding mastermind is one of the most critical investments you’ll make in your brand and business building journey.

The choices you’re faced with are:

 Do you re-evaluate your brand to scale faster so you can increase sales with a brand accelerator, refresh, rebrand, revitalization?

or

Do you build a new brand or sub-brand entirely?

And then how?

 

The Persona Brand Building Blueprint™ Mastermind

with Lorraine Carter

If you want to pitch, price and position your brand to your ideal customers as the perfect choice, then you must master your brand message, position your products or services as the best solution and target your ideal customers at the right time in the right places.

Over an intensive two-day workshop, branding expert Lorraine Carter of Persona Branding and Design leads you in evaluating which route to choose. You’ll explore the most effective processes for a brand refresh, rebranding, overhauling or indeed, launching your new brand or sub-brand to market. You’ll discover all the critical essentials you need to include to ensure a successful brand transformation — the do’s and dont’s for doing it successfully.

This mastermind is also your opportunity to make time for strategic thinking in a brand and business context. The like-minded peer group of senior management from non-competing sectors enriches the whole experience with shared expertise coupled with other perspectives from outside your field from which to draw on.

As Featured In

“I recently organized a large Business Forum for business owners and stakeholders entitled ‘After the Storm – New Business Opportunities’ to highlight the challenges and changing face of doing business in 2013. I was delighted to engage Lorraine Carter to speak at the Forum as I have seen first hand her expertise in Branding and Design.

More importantly I know Lorraine as a Professional Speaker who delivers not only excellent content but is passionate about the positive financial impact of great branding and design.

Lorraine’s talk entitled ‘Brand Your Way Out of Recession’ was extremely well received. Her clarity, eloquence and use of storytelling evoked clear examples of how both big, medium and even small businesses have reached the top with successful use of effective branding and design.

I’d recommend Lorraine as a Speaker at your next event or conference. She is an expert in what she does but more importantly she is an expert who knows how to speak about it!”

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.”

“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).”
