Enlightened Brand Strategy: How to Change Your World with Your Brand

The world is changing. We feel different; we want new things from our lives. There is a thirst to make a difference, to make a positive change. But how? Through our work, our hobbies, our businesses, our brands. It's time for enlightened brand strategy. Welcome to the Brand Master Flash podcast

What is an enlightened brand strategy? 


Enlightened:

Showing understanding, acting in a positive way, and not following old-fashioned or false beliefs.


Brand. 

Your community. The connectedness they have with your business product or culture.


Strategy

A focused, time-based plan.


In summary

A plan to build a community that drives positive change and growth.


Questions to ask:

  • Do you have a deep desire to make the world a better place?
  • Do you want to leave this planet a better place than when you found it?
  • Do you want to use your time at work to leverage your skills, passion and drive for the greater good?



5 steps to build your brand:


  • Unite for a common cause
  • Integrate into brand foundations
  • Think global start local 
  • Make it fun
  • Measure for impact 



Why?

  • It will unite your team
  • It will grow your network
  • It will increase your visibility
  • It will get more people talking about you
  • It will create new opportunities
  • It will connect you with customers, team members and followers who have the same passion and values


Working together makes us stronger.

 

I’m here in service for the ones who want to change the world for the better
