If you find our thought pieces on brand strategy and brand management insightful and would like a deeper understanding for yourself, your marketing teams or leadership teams we can develop a tailored learning engagement for you.

Brand Education is a core competency of The Blake Project, the brand consultancy behind Branding Strategy Insider. As practitioners and educators we deliver interactive brand education workshops and keynote speeches designed to align individuals and organizations on essential concepts in brand management and empower them to release the full potential of their brands.

Additionally, we host a unique competitive-learning event annually: The Un-Conference: 360 Degrees of Brand Strategy for a Changing World featuring Brandingo: The Brand Management Safari Game. Here, marketers compete and learn on teams in a fun, gamified format that features participation over observation and memorable learning outcomes. We tap into the full expertise in the room and participants leave with actionable tools and techniques for building strong brands.

For organizations seeking to transform and mobilize their employees around the brand we custom design and develop brand academies / brand centers of excellence which include live training and distance learning powered by i-STORY, our proprietary learning technology.

Abbott, Air France/KLM, Bayer, Darden Restaurants (Olive Garden, Red Lobster et al), GE, GlaxoSmithKlein, HP, Kawasaki, OgilvyRed, Monsanto, T. Rowe Price, Unilever, U.S. Army and Wyndham Worldwide are some of the organizations that have turned to The Blake Project for help in meeting learning objectives.
