AIM
To help CEOs better manage brand equity online. The value of a company’s corporate and/or product brand(s) can exceed its more tangible assets. But the financial models for calculating brand equity offer little help in understanding or developing these assets. This leaves the CEO with little practical methodology to manage what, potentially, is the company’s biggest asset. The aim of this course is to provide managers with a buyer-centric model that looks at brand equity through the eyes of the buyer. We will then define the 10 hurdles that brands must cross online during customer acquisition and retention and use these as a checklist for building brand equity online. Participants will leave the course with an assessment of how their brand is performing online today along with a model and a number of hands-on tools that they can use to assess and direct their own efforts to build brand equity online.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
CEOs, HR Directors and those aspiring towards those positions will benefit by participating in this course. The course will deal with underlying principles of marketing and operational issues implementing them. As such, it is most suitable for senior managers responsible for driving growth and developing the company.
COURSE OUTLINE
The course runs over two days with four lecture modules, each including exercises and round-table discussions. Participants will be assigned a self-assessment homework between Day 1 and Day 2.

Before the course, participants will be surveyed about their needs and the course material will be tailored to address the results.
