98% OF YOUR BRAND IS NOT YOUR LOGO

SPEAKER: BRUCE NICHOLS, ICONIC BRAND

Many businesses and organisations think that their brand begins and ends with their logo. They often don’t even have a Brand Code, yet they expect their brand to work for them. With so much competition out there, they can’t afford to overlook the first, most vital step in brand development – a step that determines whether they will be just spending their future marketing dollars or investing them.

This BWN presentation will also reveal whether you are left branded or right branded.
