Branding is often misunderstood as just logos and colors, but real brand management is a strategic discipline taught in top MBA programs. This course brings that MBA level understanding to you without the tuition bill. You will learn from a former Global Brand Manager at Sony PlayStation who studied at Philip Kotler's Kellogg School of Management. The course covers brand strategy, brand tactics, luxury brand management, B2B and B2C branding, personal branding, AI for branding, influencer partnerships, and word of mouth marketing.

This Course Offers

• Advanced brand theory including differentiation versus distinctiveness, brand associations, and Byron Sharp's 7 Rules for Brand Growth.
• Practical tactics including social media automation, Reddit marketing, securing brand partnerships, and influencer monetization.
• Case studies on Lacoste, Bud Light, Vanta, and lessons from Grant Cardone and "Stop Chasing Influencers."
• AI applications for branding including generative AI for brand management and strategic AI workflows.
