Join our 5th round of “Problem Solvers - Inspire To Innovate” - a limited series of 8 free meetups hosted once every 2 weeks, around three main topics: growth hacking, culture of innovation and strategy. Today’s edition will be on Strategy.

📋 DESCRIPTION

Dave will take us on a crash course on the subject of business strategy, and particularly brand strategy.
In the context of the digital age, building something that people will love, and will build into a sustainable long term business requires a lot of thought and attention. In this practical session, we will look at the building blocks of a strong brand strategy, and then how we can build out from there and use this brand strategy to guide how to spot opportunities and innovate/iterate. We will also look at some examples, and myth bust some common misconceptions about the topic of strategy.
