The rules for successful brand building on-line are being written today. Companies large and small in all sectors are finding ways to establish compelling bonds with customers via the Web and email communications channels. The interactive medium can no longer be seen a just an experiment or a luxury in your branding efforts.
Yet even the biggest brands have made costly mistakes, potentially damaging the associations they have cultivated for years. To be effective, you must look beyond on-line advertising as only direct response or just a literal extension of brand efforts from offline.
This seminar will show how to get the most out of your on-line efforts through an exploration of best practices for interactive branding. The discussion will cover on-line branding in myriad contexts and through the lens of a number of industries. The primary focus will be on showing how branding is best translated into the interactive medium in functional, emotional, and experiential ways. Time will be taken to place branding into an integrated framework and reveal how on-line branding works best when it is synchronized with the efforts of other mediums.
One of the key lessons of the seminar will be to show how pervasive your on-line branding efforts should be. Marketers need to be mindful that their brand is built on-line in more places than just ad units and home pages. It is also built through consumer experiences within any number of on-line transactions, ranging from simple signup forms to full on-line promotions. The shrewd marketer does not overlook these often forgotten branding opportunities and works to avoid the common pitfalls of forgetting about your brand when working beyond the basic banner.
Marketing professionals in all industries responsible for online communications with customers.

Of the participants who evaluated this seminar, 59% would recommend it to a colleague. Some of their comments:
"It's a great simplification of the concepts of successful online branding. The presenter was very clear and concise about what strategies work and why. I learned a great deal from this seminar!"
"It's one of the better seminars on online branding that I've seen. It related to the topic that it was supposed to talk about, and was not a hidden sales pitch."
"Excellent overview of branding, in general, and it covered a broad spectrum of Internet branding opportunities. It opened our eyes to the sorry state of our website!"
"I loved that he used examples. So many times the speakers tell you a, b & c but don't show you how it's been executed in the past. This was extremely helpful b/c you could visually see what he meant."
"Great job once again. I love these virtual seminars. I always walk away with at least one idea or new way of looking at things."
"The focus was primarily product companies and not service companies. I would have liked to talk more about service companies and budgets - small to large."
