Brand Strategy

A brand is so much more than a logo, tagline, product or marketing campaign. The most adept and sought-after marketers know that a brand is a promise and that a well-planned brand strategy can make or break an organization.

Through the courses in the Brand Strategy sequence, you learn how to manage brand communications and make key decisions in a consumer-driven marketplace, where customers can share information and opinions freely and instantaneously.

Through Brand Strategy courses, you will also learn to identify brand opportunities and use consumer insights to measure brand awareness and equity, lead business decisions and shape perceptions.

From mapping a consumer decision journey to developing key brand messages to measuring a brand’s consumer connection, you learn the ins and outs of what makes a successful brand strategy in today’s complex media environment.
