Strategic Brand Management

Course Overview

The market is changing. Increased competition, reduction of profit margins, the growth of new product assortment and the accumulation of innovation require the development of new strategic ideas that provide flexibility and adaptation for each of the players to grow and achieve their objectives. Redesigning the strategic factors that affect this process and measuring the tactical effectiveness of products and brands leads to a more viable and thriving future. In modern years, competition, technology, and environmental issues have radically changed consumer behaviour and related products that satisfy their specific needs and want. Online shopping, social media, search engines, product variety and many more have reduced the product life span, urging businesses to strive for new, advanced, environmentally friendly products.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, this Strategic Brand Management training course gives particular weight to case studies so that participants can gain from real product and brand development stories and be able to design innovative products and brands. The programme focuses on the development of brands and the necessary skills marketers should possess in making managerial decisions related to the product mix and branding. It examines products and branding from all perspectives, its brief, formulation, and implementation. This will include the personality and character of a brand or product and how it influences consumer behaviour.
