DonateCorporate Brand Strategy & Management Council
A brand is more than a name; it’s often a company’s single greatest asset. As executives charged with brand stewardship, we discuss externals and internals that affect our brands – political and media trends, partnerships inside and out, brand architecture, re-branding and immersive storytelling – while sharing the latest wisdom on brand management:
- Developing brand architecture, scorecards, budgets, measurement and strategies
- Organizational change management either structurally or through brand ambassadors
- Using theories of core, adjacency growth and playbooks for mergers
- Optimizing agency relationships and brand governance
A brand is both the prism through which the world sees a company and the ideal against which its employees measure their performance. Our candid exchanges do more than refine our logos and slogans; they affect our companies’ bottom lines.

The Council has been tremendously valuable for me and my organization. The open exchange of best practice and toughest struggle 'stories' across varied industries has made us all better equipped with solutions for our companies. The ability to connect face to face, e-mail forums between meetings and even blogging offers me great flexibility for exchanges with the group.
