Brand Masterclass


Brand Masterclass

The Brand Masterclass is a process, proprietary to BRANDZ 360, which delivers some crystal clear advantages to your firm or product. The Brand Masterclass is a classroom for everyone to learn and evaluate the synergies that you have with your customer which in essence is what builds your brand equity and increases the value of your brand.

The Kindergarten
Toddler’s steps in the art of branding…

Brands are part of the decision making process of every purchase. The stronger the brand means the clearer the position it has in your mind. Ergo it has more value and the chances of the customer buying the product or service again and again increases. In this, the kindergarten of branding, the goal or initial sketch of how to ensure that the customer makes those choices is what we proceed to enumerate and discover.

The Kindergarten is a process of finding out from the very basics the strategic state of your company’s brand. Based on research, it will help your company to uncover elements that are critical to satisfy your customer base. These first steps will provide us a foundation for developing the best methodology for creating brand communications. Leading to profound knowledge and analytical skills vis a vis your brand, over time, the Brand Masterclass is your acknowledged weapon in the art of brand management.

The Kindergarten measures the effectiveness of your brand. As well as values therein both nascent and obvious. It establishes brand value as a benchmark for enhancements by focusing on the attributes of your product or service that make you different from your competitor. It also gives you in depth analysis of what the customer perceives your product or service to be. The Kindergarten enables you to modify, align and create positioning communication with pin point accuracy on your target group’s specific needs and wants. Finally, it teaches all of us the power of the focus of a brand. Or rather of the brand that is focused!

Once the values of a brand are unlocked and laid bare, which is exactly what The Kindergarten does, it becomes so much more easier to measure, monitor and enhance your communications. Both internally and externally. It helps you focus on your brands core communications and increase your bottom line. BRANDZ 360’s Masterclass helps you maximize value relationships between corporate profitability and brand perception.

The Kindergarten is in depth profiling of your brand. It obviously comes up with the good points but more importantly tells you where you are going wrong. This happens not because we say so but because data from related measurements which gauge brand effectiveness tells you so!

The following documentation is available on retaining BRANDZ 360 for in-depth research of your brand in the Brand Masterclass. Aspects of branding are graded on a scale of 1 to 10 on the following:
1. products or services
2. target markets

Other processes that unlock your brand’s value are:
1. Internal interviews
2. Suggestions of internal nourishment and enhancement of the brand.
3. External reviews from customers, vendors and key personnel
4. Competitive analysis – to tell you how you stack up against the competition, how your target group perceives you.
