Brand Alignment Workshop for Corporates

Every employee is a brand ambassador responsible for delivering the organization brand promise consistently. However, even the largest companies around the world struggle with keeping their people inspired about their brand. Part of the reason is the lack of knowledge and appreciation of branding as an important business function. I work closely with organizations to customize brand training modules and deliver the training to their teams. The objective is to assist corporates in internalizing their brand and inspiring their people to deliver it to perfection at all times.
