Take a fresh look at your business for 2010

Following the recent launch of our Faculty of Business and Management, Canterbury Christ Church University offers a FREE breakfast workshop on Tuesday 19th January at Hall Place Enterprise Centre, Canterbury, to all business owners who want to gain a competitive edge and boost their business in 2010.

What does your brand say about your business?

Your customers make their decisions based on a complex range of factors, many of them emotional. The impressions they form based on what they see, feel and hear about your company can make a real difference to the value they place on what you do, and to your success. Your brand is not about having a clever logo or spending lots of money – it is about being clear, consistent and professional in everything you do. Come along to our brand clinic to learn from branding experts and through peer review what your brand says about your business and how you can make it work more strongly for you.

Led by Sharon Wilding from Purple Edge, and presenter for the Chartered Institute of Marketing, and Joanna Wood, marketing consultant and lecturer in the Faculty of Business and Management, our workshop will help you to understand how to:
• identify your brand values
• harness the power of design
• apply your brand consistently
• create your action plan for maximising the power of your brand

Join us from 7.45am to 10.30am (breakfast provided), on Tuesday 19th January 2010 at Hall Place Enterprise Centre, Harbledown, Canterbury CT2 9AG.

Places are limited so please book early.
