Branding is powerful. Every customer should focus on keeping branding consistent for the customer (resident in our case). There are many benefits to this, outlined below by Holli Beckman. It’s nice to see our Elevated Living thesis on how ‘branded’ resident apps perform much better, supported by this.

✨ Day 1's keynote at #AIMConf brought a master class on branding to the main stage. Shruti Buckley, Senior vice president and Brand Leader for Hampton by Hilton, delivered an insightful keynote on making a business case for brand investment. Some key takeaways: ☝🏻 Getting More $$ for Branding: To get your organization to invest more in marketing, know your stakeholders. Understand what KPIs matter to *them* and communicate your strategy in *their language.* 🌟 Branding Starts with Experience: Establish your brand as an experience, not just a transaction. Every detail, from lobby furniture to gym equipment, should be chosen based on data that supports your brand identity. 📋 Clear Brand Standards: Hold operations teams accountable for upholding brand standards, but you're responsible for making sure those standards are clear from the start. Hint: HAmpton's brand guide is 150+ pages 💡 Value Proposition: Determine what your guests want and what they're willing to pay for. Talk to your customers to find out, but remember that cleanliness, friendliness, and reliability are fundamental. 😊 Happy Employees, Happy Customers: Happy employees lead to well-maintained assets and happier customers. Invest in your people because it pays off. 📈 Show Economic Impact: When advocating for a specific amenity, demonstrate how it will positively impact economic performance. 🔍 Competitors & Market Position: Do your homework! Learn about your competitors' performance, brand strength, services, and property maintenance. Understand what they're doing better so you can set yourself apart. A huge thank you to Shruti Buckley for sharing these incredible insights at #AIMConf. Let's continue creating brands that inspire customer loyalty and drive growth!

This is a blatant selling post. According to many LinkedIn experts, you should only make 1-in-5 posts selling posts. Since I created my 28-Day Brand Launchpad, I have probably been guilty of doing a higher ratio of selling posts than normal. But this is my blatant, no apologies selling post for this week. Join me, and a small group of purpose-driven business owners on my next 28-Day Brand Launchpad, starting on May 28th. As a small business owner, it can be lonely. You can get stuck in your own head when it comes to trying to solve problems. You are probably guilty of talking to potential clients from your perspective and not theirs. This award-nominated group brand creation programme - the only one of it's kind in the UK - is designed around group feedback, group encouragement and group accountability. It is like having your own board of directors for 28 days, while you create a compelling brand for your business (with the help, expertise and experience of me and the other business owners). I have conducted the programme twice, both with outstanding results! I have seen the clarity, confidence and courage of the participants sour during the 28 days. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "Phenomenal" ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "Uplifting" ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "Genius" ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "Clarity" ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "Clarity" ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "Clarity" ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "Confidence" ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "Confidence" ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "Confidence" I am happy to have a chat with you about the programme and whether it is right for you (I am not going to push it down your throat, the last person I spoke to I told them it wasn't right for them). Come on board, it will make a huge difference to the way you, and your potential clients, view your business. Please share with anyone you know who is struggling to attract enough of their ideal clients. Thank you. #brand #brandcreation #28DayBrandLaunchpad #clarity #confidence #courage https://lnkd.in/eEkPR_9R

There's something a typical CMO suggests first things first, but we did it only 2 years after. We rebranded N.Rich 😻 Three words and almost a year of work behind. It all started with Darya Krakaviak and her relentless mind - since May last year she began selling us in the necessity of a more defined and bold brand that highlights why we're different: European (Nordic to be precise) roots and focus on quality. Sales cycle was 3 months long 😂 - we started active work on the project in the end of summer. And here's what it evolved into! The Nordic lights concept Darya suggested in the very beginning eventually grew into what you can see now in our logo, on the main page and all of our assets wherever you go online. The whole rebrand project was basically executed by two people who weren't even working full-time on it (Darya and Alexandr Luchinschi from Lislex). When I look at rebrand announcements from companies that have huge funding and big internal design teams, I can't say we're lagging behind in any way. On the opposite - it's the best use of resources I've seen for such a massive initiative. I really hope we managed to convey our main thought here: if you're a European company or you're looking to support your business in European markets with account-based GTM, N.Rich is your #1 choice. Let me know if you feel the same when you look at our new brand!

We believe that true brand power emerges when internal operations and external promises align flawlessly. Our approach is rooted in cultivating brand ecosystems where every element - from team mindset to customer journey - exists in perfect harmony
