This presentation encapsulates my thoughts expressed in two of my recent blog posts on why brand-building needs to move beyond marketing and into the corporate sphere. Here, I explore and explain how brands are driven by business strategy. How they also add back to the corporate brand to take business strategy forward into new growth areas. With examples of GE, Sony and Pernod Ricard to illustrate my thinking. For more on brands please read my other presentations on Slideshare and visit my blog, www.peripateticperch.com
