B2B products and services are not like tangible consumer goods. Instead, they are primarily sold on trust. On this challenging battleground, reputation is your most important asset. This is especially true for professional services players like strategy consultants, auditors and executive search. For them, brand building is often even more critical for generating business value than for product brands.
Brand Strategists takes your brand beyond pure service offerings, claims of expertise and quality delivery.
A powerful lever to challenge all relevant aspects of your current marketing mix for future optimum performance is the Brand Strategists Marketing Audit:

(e.g. current and potential clients, business partners, alumni, high potentials, recruits, etc.) - Brand benchmarking against your competition and with reference to your inherent brand values (e.g. trust, credibility, potential, soft factors etc.)
- In-depth evaluation of the efficiency of your marketing mix
(e.g. advertising, online marketing, social media, events, PR etc.) - Analysis of your new business and relationship development tactics
