Branding from Bland to Brilliant!

Wednesday, 4th February (9.30am – 4pm)
The Bridge - Skills Hub Worksop

How do you transform your business from forgettable to irresistible, in an increasingly noisy marketplace?

This fully funded workshop is designed to help small business owners and marketing teams discover how to define a clear, authentic brand, position their business confidently, and tell their story in a way that connects with the right audience.

This is a real hands-on session. You’ll be guided on: identifying your unique value and defining your “why”; undertaking an audit of your brand to find out what’s working and what isn’t; finding your ideal audience and determining what they really care about; developing your tone of voice; storytelling; and standing out from the competition.

Delegates will be provided with a toolkit of actionable ideas.

Open to established businesses in Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.

Book your place at: https://growthhub.eastmidlands-cca.gov.uk/events/branding-from-bland-to-brilliant-make-your-business-unforgettable/.

This project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
