BUILDING BRAND AWARENESS
How To Get Recognized For The Amazing Work You Do
Summary:
Wendy Capland, CEO of Vision Quest Consulting, had just been through a comprehensive rebranding process. They updated her personal and business brand image with a beautiful new look. She hired a PR team, a social media company and an event management company. This case studies details how consulting with Jenn Morgan empowered Wendy to lead her marketing teams, raise awareness of her consulting business and gain recognition as a leading authority in the field of leadership development.
The Challenge
When I met Wendy she had just been through a large rebranding project with a different marketing agency. At the end of their work together, she was left on her own to integrate the brand work into her business operations.
After evaluating her case, I found that she had a positioning statement for herself as an industry leader, but she hadn't a messaging strategy to back up her claim. She was also missing a marketing strategy and a media plan, without which it's nearly impossible to help others formulate effective ideas and communications on behalf of the brand.
The Solution
First, I defined the key differentiating factors that sets her apart from others in her field:
- Best Selling Author of Your Next Bold Move for Women
- Creator of a Women's Leadership Retreat and running for the past 9 years
- Internationally Recognized Hall of Fame Coach
- Team consists of 40+ expert consultants & trainers worldwide
- Multimedia brand presence (to be created this year)
I focused her core differentators into leadership success stories that became the foundation for all communication around her brand.
Speaker Bio
Media brand, professional bio
Then, I drafted a marketing strategy and media plan to focus the year ahead. And, I designed a press kit as a Promotional PDF that integrated her personal and business brands.
Keynote Speaker
Description and promotion of her inspirational keynotes and media contact information.
Company Description
Executive summary of company and main lines of business.
