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.

With my background in finance and operations, I found this course especially enlightening! Take this course if you're unsure about the direction your brand is heading. Thanks for sharing this information.

By Tracey Harvey on

Very informative course with useful information and also an eye opener. The importance of branding via archetypes/personalities was well demonstrated and I can see, with a bit of work/creativity, how I can utilize the knowledge with my branding.

By Simon Ouellette on

There were a few redundant points, and I felt it could have been a little shorter overall through condensing the information & optimizing the delivery.That being said, the presenter has a good cadence and flow, and delivered the info in an easily understandable fashion. I liked the video / movie clip accompaniment to illustrate the points. The topic was pretty interesting, and I will be applying the lessons learned to 2 new & distinct divisions at my employer. I've been tasked with branding the "products" and these resources will be useful to help pinpoint the target market / users, and how we can best position ourselves to speak to them in a meaningful way.

By Sandi Lincoln on

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 !

Annoying ask to rate a course after almost every each video. Impossible to just listened all of them before and learn what is it intresting in whole.

By Malcolm Pendlebury on

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 Mitchell Clark on

Excellent and succinct presentation of materials. I know that I will re-visit this course, again and again, as I develop the branding for my new business venture.

By Saadiq Daya on

It was ok, the content was decent and he went over some good points, but I found the course to be a bit dry and boring for being a branding course. Quite a few points were repeated over and over, and all the videos had a lot of "fluff" - explaining what to do with the knowledge we are going to get, what we can do once we get this knowledge, what is coming later in the course, the "foundation", reiteration of the types etc. overall it was an ok course, but i think it could be summarized into an hour or 2 not 3 for sure.

By Oliver Hayward on

This course is fantastic! The depth of detail regarding archetypes, with use-cases, was amazing. The production value is also high (as it should be!). Thanks.

By Godwin on

It's extremely educational and the delivery is outstanding.I now understand the importance of using human relationship to build a brand. I'm completely satisfied and grateful. Thank you.
