Branding for Global Markets
What is a Brand? A brand isn’t just a logo or colour scheme; it’s a feeling and perception that customers have about your company, product, or service. Remember, you don’t own your brand—your audience does. Ensuring that your brand’s reputation among customers mirrors your brand image is crucial for success.
Michael Jordan once said, “You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong, then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way. Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise.”
