A good brand is part of what separates the companies that disappear overnight, and the ones that stand the test of time... even if the face of real life challenges and business growing pains.

Brand recognition takes years to develop.... for big companies with millions of dollars in resources and the ability to buy mass media.

Brand recognition takes even MORE years to develop for small businesses in reaching their broadest potential. But small businesses also have a greater opportunity to solidify brand awareness faster to niche markets... pockets of target customers that are easier to engage and connect with like social media.

Brand longevity comes from consistency, clarity and commitment to the brand. If you start with your brand a little off kilter, but not entirely, you can leverage what works and use them as stepping stones to improving and strengthening your brand.

You must have clarity on what your brand is, and your customers must perceive your brand the way you intend it, before brand longevity can even be considered.

This Master Coaching Series Is For You If:

• You understand the basic concepts of what a brand is and have taken some steps to incorporate some brand basics into your business (even if you know it isn't quite there yet).
• You believe you have a solid brand concept that is growing... you know that your brand intention seems to match the perception your customers have of you and your business. 
• You have seen some success in your business and you are looking to repeat what has worked, leveraging your growing brand.
• You have identified a need to create a co-brand or undergo a rebrand, and need to know how to add or evolve without losing customers.
• You are a marketing professional or business coach that can benefit from some brand marketing insight from a marketing professional who is a brand expert.
• You want action steps, not theory, to move your business from where you are to where you need to go, in a practical, specific way.
• You would benefit from extra eyes and ears on your logo, language, social media and traditional marketing ideas to strengthen your brand.

This Master Coaching Series Is Not For You If:

• You are not yet clear on the concepts of brand, brand awareness, brand perception, brand reputation and the relevance they hold on your business.
• You are a solopreneur struggling with brand clarity, then I refer you to my colleagues Stephanie Pollock  (personal brand expert) or Gina Bell (creating clarity whiz).

About the Expert:

Kim Page Gluckie has led and implemented new brand and rebrand strategies for dozens of organizations throughout her career. Her signature skillset of making incredible successes grow from shoestring budgets applies even with the greatest brand challenges. For example, in 2000 through 2003 she was part of a large electric utility organization that changes brands TWICE in her time, during a tough political climate that saw her territory size double, and budget shrink by 75%... yet Kim leveraged every ounce of existing brand awareness and harnessed the power of customer service and grassroots marketing to successfully rebrand this organization a couple of times (as proven by expensive marketing research reports!). This is just one of Kim's stories of rebranding, as evidence that she has really been there and has expertise to draw on that second to few in the market. Kim knows how to take what you've done well, add what must be done to make it even better, and gain momentum not lose it in the face of growth and change!
