Title:  Creating a Cohesive Branding and Marketing Strategy for 2025

Description:  Developing a brand and a marketing strategy can feel like a daunting task for businesses, and one of the most common questions is: What’s the difference between branding and marketing? Which one comes first?

In simple terms, branding is the foundational process of defining your business’s identity—its name, image, values, and message. Marketing, on the other hand, is about taking that identity and promoting it to your target audience. It involves creating strategies to reach potential customers and communicate your brand’s value in ways that drive engagement and sales.

This one hour webinar we will cover how to align your brand and marketing efforts as one unit to build a cohesive, impactful strategy that resonates with your audience and strengthens your business for heading into the new year.
