The Pop-up Business School
The Pop up Business School is partnering with The Distillery at The Whisky Bond to deliver a programme of business accelerator workshops on the theme of ‘Developing your challenger business’.
“We bring you the latest thinking, case stories and tried-and-tested tools that will allow you to learn and ‘do different’ in our Dojo-style masterclasses – no matter what shape, size or type of business you have.
This free brand development Dojo is an informal but highly valuable 3 hour intensive workshop, the first of 5 to be run through May and June 2015.The other workshops have a small charge.
Whether you’re in start-up mode, growing your business or rethinking your brand, this workshop will outline 6 key principles and give you valuable tools to use to jumpstart the process of building your brand to make your business remarkable.
We’ll help you identify and articulate why your company, product or service matters, what you do and how you fit in to your business and your business fits into the world. You will get an insider’s peek into some of the latest thinking and tools used by brand strategists and brand agencies that we’ve worked with recently.
You will learn two tried-and-tested tools and case stories (not studies) based on nearly 25 years of working with some of the most successful entrepreneurs, startups and organisations in the UK.”
