This workshop was delivered to the Brand Consortium of ISBM. It helped identify the key variables in framing a brand portfolio strategy, including customer segments, product categories,
customer end benefits, and price/value tiers. The workshop also helped participants identify the pros and cons associated with various brand portfolio strategies and architectures, and the
circumstances where each makes sense. Best practices, guiding principles, case studies and interactive exercises are leveraged throughout…all with a heavy skew toward B2B examples.
This was a webinar conducted for ISBM members to help them understand the key components that comprise a brand portfolio strategy, and how these components relate to and inform brand architecture decision-making. This requires developing a thoughtful brand portfolio strategy; one that defines the optimal number, scope and strategic role for each brand within the portfolio. The webinar leverages best practices, guiding principles, and real-world examples.
The purpose of this two-day workshop was to help marketers build successful multichannel strategies that connect with customers in increasingly meaningful ways across discreet yet interconnected channels. Specifically it focuses on how to: 1) develop a 360 view of customers to inform a channel architecture strategy, 2) deliver personally relevant information through a compelling content and contact strategy, 3) align channels through brand strategy to create a cohesive user experience, 4) integrate measurement across channels for business performance enhancement, and 5) create internal infrastructure and readiness systems that equip organizations to coordinate effective responses to customer needs.
This two-day workshop helped participants craft a high-potential business growth strategy that capitalizes on marketplace opportunities while leveraging organizational competencies and competitive advantages. Day 1 of the workshop consists of four modules: 1) an overview of business growth strategy, 2) conducting a current state assessment to identify business opportunities consistent with organizational core competencies, 3) articulating a business growth vision to remain competitive in a challenging marketplace environment, and 4) growing the core business to maximize revenue and profit.
The presentation was part of a one-day roundtable session held for the membership of the Association of National Advertisers (ANA). It contains a real-world case study that illustrates how a former client: 1) dissected and ultimately defined what it means to be "green" in their industry, 2) identified key purchase decision-makers associated with "green," 3) segmented the market based on customers' attitudes toward "green," and 4) developed a compelling "green-based" value proposition and go-to-market strategy for the chosen target segment.

We all know it is important to consistently grow brands, but what is the best way to achieve brand growth? This webinar was conducted for the membership of ANA. It discuss how to achieve growth by extending brands into new markets, whether by geography, by category, or by industry. It features a variety of case studies and best and worst practice examples while exploring critical questions such as: What are the challenges of managing your brand as you expand its reach to new customers with potentially new product offerings? Are there pitfalls that might damage your valuable brand? Can brands move up or down markets?
The purpose of this two-day workshop was to help marketers build successful multichannel strategies that connect with customers in increasingly meaningful ways across discreet yet
interconnected channels. Specifically it focuses on how to: 1) develop a 360 view of customers to inform a channel architecture strategy, 2) deliver personally relevant information through a

enhancement, and 5) create internal infrastructure and readiness systems that equip organizations to coordinate effective responses to customer needs.
This workshop builds a foundation for how to identify, evaluate and pursue successful new product introductions for existing brands. It proposes a new definition for what it means to be “on
brand,” and outlines an approach for determining when a potential new business opportunity is brand-enhancing or brand-detracting. Specific topics covered include: 1) determining a brand’s
“bounds of extendibility,” 2) using brand as a source of inspiration for business-building ideas, and 3) testing/validating new business opportunities within the context of an existing brand.
The workshop uses a combination of best and worst practices, B2B and B2C context, and practical and real-world examples.

• Are there circumstances or conditions where brands can detract from one another (i.e.,
unintentionally compete against each other or dilute their impact in the marketplace)?
• Is there a danger that we could be over-reaching with our brand/logo? What should be we be
asking ourselves so this does not occur?
• When does it make sense to create a product brand logo -- and how can this be integrated with a
corporate brand?
• What are the attributes of a brand in each phase of its life? What are their outward measures?
• What about the approach of reducing from 30 brands down to 2? Isn't there a role for
differentiated brands that are recognized in their industry?
• Are there examples of brand guidelines and how best to ensure they are followed worldwide
(short of policing every single item)?
• In some cases, I wonder what the impact of corporate brand endorsement is (to the BU brand)?
How can I ensure corporate brand linkage strengthens the product brand?
