Who we are - The Strategic Brand

OUR BELIEF 

We believe that there is nothing more impactful than a Strategic Brand: it acts as a compass to the entire organisation, empowers the enterprise to outperform competitors and creates extraordinary sustainable long-term value.

We observe that despite its transformational power, the Brand is rarely at the very core of an organisation’s strategy.  Very few brands reach their full potential, ‘own’ their brand space, maintain their purpose for decades, create an unparalleled stakeholder preference and are at the heart of the enterprise business model.

We see very few companies like BMW able to state: “A Strategic Brand drives the company rather than anything else”; or like O2 “We are not a business that runs a brand, we are a brand that runs a business”. Simply said, organisations having their brand as a way of being.

OUR PURPOSE

The purpose of ‘THE Enduring Strategic Brand’ is to advocate for building your Enduring Strategic Brand into the ultimate weapon of success for your enterprise and your own.

It is to support your strategic journey from being a brand to becoming an Enduring Strategic Brand – providing a 13+1 brand imperative system to achieve this shift in the times of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

It is to reconciliate and integrate Brand and Strategy.
