Brand Culture Workshop

At The Blake Project we believe that a key component to a brand’s success lies in forging a rich culture/ecosystem/community that people feel they belong to and that they actively advocate to others.

Powerful brand cultures are built from the interaction of a range of elements:

• A strong sense of purpose, emanating from your mission, vision and values, that helps you build brand equity by enabling your brand to stand for an idea that people want to celebrate every day
• Clear storylines that give the brand a unified sense of direction, but that can also be segmented by audience
• Experiences that bring people together and enable them to share being part of the community

Our Brand Culture Workshop offers opportunities to arrive at actionable decisions on building the powerful brand culture you desire. We will help you identify and implement the internal changes needed to establish a new understanding of your brand that you can use to propel effective change from the inside-out.

By the end of one full day we will make actionable decisions in four key areas:

1. How we will make the strategic shift from what your brand is today to what it will become internally and what the implications of that are for how you work
2. How we will use your brand values to make that change and encourage people in order to underpin the brand’s competitive advantage
3. Building and activating the internal story, one where the narrative comes alive for your people in ways they can truly own
4. How we will encourage and reward your people to live the brand promise and strengthen bonds with your customers via experiences (celebration, acknowledgement, recognition)

This workshop is highly interactive and will include group exercises designed to lead clients to consensus as well as brand education on building high performing brand cultures and best practices for inside-out branding today.
