Description:
The Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting a monthly Lunch & Learn Series. This series is generously sponsored by the Advocates for Small Business and is intended to answer questions posed through our Membership Survey.
The March 6th session features Branding, and will be held at the Chamber of Commerce, 36 Montford Avenue, in the Asheville Merchants Corporation Board Room, from 12:00 noon until 1:00pm. Presenter is Kathy Rauch of The Satori Group.
Big Ideas for Brand Leadership
This interactive and dynamic lunch-and-learn session is excerpted from one of The Satori Group’s most requested longer-format workshops. Participants will:
• Examine Best Practices of Brand Leaders (and Followers!);
• Engage in energizing “Brand Banter” with their colleagues; and
• Receive relevant takeaways (in form of a laminated Teaching Takeaway) to help internalize their learning.
Grounded in the most recent and relevant Best Practices and packaged in a highly visual, sometimes humorous approach, Satori Group President and Co-Founder Kathy Rauch will review Brand Basics, 6 Big Brand Ideas, select Case Histories, and Keys to Consider in building powerful brand performance.
Desserts are sweetly provided by Lenoir-Rhyne University - Center for Graduate Studies of Asheville.
Participants are responsible for his/her own brown bag lunch. This event is a free benefit for Chamber member businesses. RSVP is required, as seating is limited; please click on Register Now.
