Course Description

You’re here because you want to build a business brand that engages people, makes deep human connections and builds a following.

Maybe your building a business brand for the first time or maybe you design brands for a living and your but you want to be more strategic to further your career and build brands with substance that are more than just visuals.


You want strategies that allow your business branding to

·      Look

·      Feel

·      Sound

·      Behave

·      Think

·      And Act

Differently to other brands and that’s exactly what I’m here to help you do.


Brand Management is all about understanding who your audience is, what they feel and how they behave and using that information to strategically relate your brand to their lives.

If you search for a Marketing Strategy, you will find hundreds of examples but none will show you how to speak to your audience with a tone of voice, language, characteristics and personality that will allow you to resonate with who they are as a person, which ultimately leads to subconscious buying decisions.


And that's what business branding is all about. The best marketing strategy of today will be gone tomorrow, but brands that build their relationships through human and emotional connections, stand the test of time.


Business Branding with personality is built on Archetypes. It is not a Marketing Hack. It's a science based on thousands of years of research.


·      How do the world’s biggest brands get their audience top feel something for them?

·      How do you develop a personality that makes your brand feel like a real person?

·      How can you apply this personality throughout your brand so you make your audience feel something towards you?

If you want to understand your audience on a deeper level, their fears, desires, characteristics and behaviours, and you want to build a brand personality that engages them on an emotional level, then this is the course for you.


One of the first considerations when building a business brand and a business strategy should be; how do I connect with my audience in a way that seems organic and natural. So the see the business like a person.

In this course you’ll learn the science behind why personality is the key for business brands to human engagement and the framework that the biggest brands in the world use in order to develop their personalities that connect with their audience.

The businesses and brands that make emotional connections with their audience do so on a uniquely human level. Brands are evolving into human personas that are connecting with their audience on a much more personal level.

Your customers don’t want broadcast communication in a generic voice with little to no personality. They want their brands to connect with them with an authentic personality that they can relate to.

The most loved brands in the world use a scientific personality framework as part of their brand strategy in order to make those emotional connections.

Brand Archetypes have been used by storytellers and filmmakers for generations in order to make their audience feel something for their characters and that’s exactly what we’ll be diving into in this course. We'll uncover where brand archetypes have come from and their scientific background and how they are applied in business strategy as brand archetypes in order for brands to connect with their audience.

You’ll Learn

 

·      How consumers connect on an emotional level

·      The two emotional states that brands look to tap into

·      Why personality is the future of business branding

·      The evolution of consumer brand relationships and where they’re going

·      How to develop a brand personality using a scientific framework

·      How to expand that personality so that it feels human

·      How to apply your personality across all your marketing touch points

This course is jammed full of examples as well from big and small brands

I’ve designed this course for anyone looking to build a brand or anyone looking to connect with their audience in an engaging way. I’ve created easy to follow, visually appealing and illustrated lessons that keep you engaged and help you take action.

By the end of this course you’ll know exactly how to develop a brand personality designed to evoke a specific desire or emotion from your audience which you can use to influence your brands visual identity, including your:

·      Typography

·      Colour Palette

·      Images Style

You’ll also be able to express your personality across every single touch point that your audience has with your business brand including:

·      Website copy

·      Social media posts

·      Advertisements

·      Blog Posts

·      Packaging

·      Videos

·      Customer Service

·      Lead Magnets

As you’ll learn, every single one of these touch points is an opportunity to give your audience a positive experience with your brand, which they subconsciously store which influences their buying decisions.

There are also a tonne of downloadable interactive pdfs, worksheets and case studies to help you capture information, develop your personality and bring that personality to life.

By the end of this course you’ll be able to

 

·      Understand Why Your Customers Expect More From Your Brand Communication

·      Identify Your Audience Personality Type

·      Build A Personality Foundation Around Who Your Audience Is

·      Expand Your Personality To Have Attitude, Opinions And An Outlook On Life

This course is definitely worth it. It’s short, to the point, and very informational. I’ve been in business for about a year and felt like I was still getting to know my brand but this has helped paint a clear picture. I can’t wait to see the results pay off. Thank you!

By Cleo on 5/9/2021

This course has been fantastic. Honestly, I can't thank you enough. As someone who is just starting my own company, and doesn't have much branding experience, this has been a god send. It's enabled me to define who we are, what we represent and how to communicate that to my customers. Thank you so much!!

By Ellen Frasson Waltrick on 3/28/2021

I wasn't expecting much from this course at first, but as I reached the end of the course I have to say I'm amazingly surprised at how great it is. The instructor explains everything very well with lots of examples and visuals, and I definitely learned a lot more then I was expecting. I can say its one of the best courses I've taken. Thank you to the instructor for passing on all this knowledge.

By Dee Emme on 12/18/2020

First ever review I've given on here... I loved every moment of this course. It's one of THE best laid out and structured courses on Udemy. The instructor held my attention and I was engaged along every step of the way. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a systematic approach to establishing their brand. Very well done. Thank you.

By Aniket Parab on 7/16/2020

This course is very good at explaining good theory with equally strong examples. Steve is also good at communicating the need for branding, parallel to the technicality of it. I find this course to be very valuable and will recommend others to take this course.

By Rishi Shankar on 5/3/2020

This course is insightful. The quality of production is great, but the course lacks the level of engagement that the 'uninitiated' would require. If you're driven and craving for knowledge in the space of Advertising and Branding, then this course should work just fine! But if you're a little dicey about what you want out of the field, then I'd recommend you to find a course that is a little more basic and 'foundational' in a sense. Never the less, this is a great resource to gain knowledge in the field of Branding and Advertising. Lot of actionable insights and general takeaways. Thank you Steve!

By Miss BrittneyParker on 12/6/2019

This was an awesome course. It is definitely something I would recommend to people who are looking for understanding in branding. I want to expand and hopefully take the actual paid course in the near future. I have a niche for branding but need to learn more business after learning what it takes to create and build a brand.

By Malcolm Pendlebury on 11/2/2019

Personally. I received more than my monies worth. This course is an absolute gem. For twelve months I have been trying to understand this topic, so in a very short space of a couple of hours I have been refocused, given resources and been sent on a journey with purpose. I highly recommend this course.

By Sandi Lincoln on 9/2/2019

One of the best! Content - teaching style- engagement- I'm actually emotional through the entire course because this info can impact my business, my life. We can have the best product in the world but if you don't know how to connect to the people who can benefit from it, we have nothing. I'm so thankful for Stephen. Can't wait to dive into everything he has on udemy ! Boom !

By Da Trang Mai on 2/23/2019

I did not know what to expect of this course. Although I have already done a branding management course at my school, I found this course very insightful. I was able to get a different perspective thanks to Stephen's explanations of the theory applied onto the specific real-life examples.

By Manisha Sharma

The course and information were good. But the tutor was really boring maybe you could add some fun. USeful information opened my head to a new world of branding. Overall good course, really helpful.

By Keneisha Williams

Half way into the course and the topics are explained clearly. Waiting to put everything together.
