Profit from experience

Your business can profit from Jennifer Larsen Morrow’s experience and insight, honed from more than 30 years of brand work with clients in numerous industries, as president of Creative Company. She brings proven strategies and high-impact ideas to every attendee. Jennifer created Brand ACT to help businesses like yours learn how to clearly define their audiences, then identify the point of choice where each audience takes the next step in the sales process. Focusing all messages and visual systems at the points of choice (which are different for each organization and each audience) yields tactics and tools that will be more effective at a lower cost.

When your marketing is focused; your messages are clear and compelling for each targeted audience; and your brand is memorable you will generate attention, boost sales and improve your bottom line.

You will learn

• 5 steps to defining your audiences so you can reach them more effectively
• How to uncover the “wow” that captures attention and interest
• How simple changes at the “point of choice” can make a huge difference in your sales results
• About the power of branding and how it increases your impact and leverages every dollar you invest
• How to speak to your audiences so they understand why they should choose your product or service over the competition
• The power of using every contact point you have with your audiences
• How to communicate who you are in business and why you’re different from (and better than) the competition

Lots of interaction

The workshop is formatted for plenty of interaction, with no more than 25 attendees. Often attendees use the group as an informal focus group, to test ideas and discuss strategies. With worksheets and discussion throughout the day, you’ll get a chance to voice your opinion and ask plenty of questions. A brain-teasing exercise will help you define your competitive position in order to stand out in your market. You’ll learn specific actions you can implement immediately, and you’ll leave with tools you can use for both short- and long-term planning.

In just one day you will become energized and excited about possibilities. Bring your team members and you’ll align around a common direction and focus … your brand … that will drive your business forward.
