Elizabeth Goodgold, who
is Chief Nuancer and CEO of The Nuancing Group, which specializes
in building company and brand identities, will share the secrets
for building a virtual brand on the web.
What is Nuancing? This is where
the marketing lesson begins. Think of the word nuances, and you
begin to understand the brilliance of Ms. Goodgold, who defines
Nuancing as the process of creating the shade of distinction that
matters to your customers by magnifying the nuances behind a brand
in order to launch it into the realm of longevity.
How do you stack the deck in your
favor and make your brand rise above the clutter? By understanding
the seven secrets that Elizabeth Goodgold will present. She will
explore the basic principles of branding and then lead an interactive
discussion. This will truly be an Internet evening, as Ms. Goodgold
takes us on a tour of business, consumer, Internet-only, and click-and-mortar
sites. She will discuss the recent rise of mascot marketing on
the Internet and how it's helping create indelible brand images
for sites like Ask Jeeves, Pets.com and BizBuyer.
Ms. Goodgold will conclude the session
with a list of guidelines on how to create a consistent brand
image. She will share her experiences and background as a member
of the brand management team at Quaker Oats, where she resuscitated
steadily declining sales by conceiving of an entire new channel
of distribution for the cereal product.
Under her leadership, the Nuancing
Group has developed product names, taglines and Internet domains
with "flawless recall" for companies such as Medoris, Musicmatch.com,
Myriad Software, eToys.com, HNC Software, and proflowers.com.
The staggering growth of electronic
commerce and the proliferation of web sites make building a memorable
brand a necessity. You need to understand how to evaluate a good
brand name, recognize the importance of developing a brand personality,
and learning the tools to help you differentiate your brand from
competitors.
