Building the Perfect Brand
In this sound-bite savvy society, your logo, slogan and tagline speak volumes about who you are and what you do. How strong is your agency's brand, reputation and image? Is it celebrated for 'creating community', known for its 'endless benefits', or recognized as the 'happiest place in town?' Learn how to use branding tools such as taglines, graphics, color and themes to quickly and permanently improve public perception. Learn why some brands stand the test of time and others fizzle and fade.
Needs Assessment: As park and recreation agencies strive to increase value and relevance in an increasingly competitive marketplace, they must consistently position themselves as 'branded to be the best in class'. Today's young, creative, fast-paced leaders rely on quick sound-bites, consistency and imagery to make choices about where to spend their time and money. Park and recreation agencies can stand out from their competition, boost credibility and update their public perception by creating a branding strategy such as Nike's 'just do it', AT&T's 'Reach Out and Touch Someone' and GE's 'We Bring Good Things to Light.'
