Brand Management Training in New Zealand

Many courses cover Brand Management, but few focus specifically on Business-to-Business (B2B) branding. This course centres on B2B branding, which differs substantially from B2C brand management.

A brand's digital presence is essential for a business's survival in today's connected world.

This instructor-led, live training is designed for marketing professionals at all levels who wish to strengthen a business's online brand positioning, evaluate brand performance, and manage brand image and reputation through a thorough Online Brand Audit.

The cumulative effect of multiple online touchpoints ultimately shapes how your target audiences perceive your company and whether they choose to do business with you.

Conducting an online brand audit has become standard practice for businesses seeking to evaluate and strengthen their brand positioning within a given market.

In addition to assessing your brand's owned online assets for strengths and weaknesses, this audit will examine how your brand is discussed on online channels your business does not control, providing a clear evaluation of brand perception.

By completing an online brand audit, you will be equipped to develop a transformative brand marketing strategy that aligns with broader business goals.

Although this course falls under the category of 'Brand Management', it intersects with numerous other disciplines within an organisation, ranging from customer experience and online user journeys to uncovering insights, and extending to marketing strategy and planning.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate a brand's online presence for strengths and weaknesses.
• Uncover a business's online reputation and image.
• Identify and strengthen a brand's positioning in a given market.
• Build a results-driven brand strategy and an integrated online marketing communication plan.
• Conduct a competitive brand analysis and develop industry perceptual maps.
• Conduct an SEO audit.
• Learn the updated SEO guidelines in the age of AI.
• Gain valuable insights into how different customer groups perceive a business and its products or services.
• Administer online social listening.

Align your marketing and business with customer expectations—and go beyond them.
