Maximising & Managing Your Brand Strength

One of the greatest challenges of managing a business effectively requires clarity about the profitability drivers. Brand Equity is a measure of all the qualitative aspects derived from consumer perception towards a brand. If the structure in the underlying brand equity data is properly understood, it could be used to better manage the brand health and value. It is therefore critical to measure, manage and maximising your brand in order to successfully transfers value from the customers to the shareholders. Through interactive discussion panels, thought provoking ideas and objective debates, Brand Finance Asia Pacific Forum 2016 will help you articulate the value of your brand by Managing and Maximising Your Brand Strength.

This event is exclusive and complimentary for Senior Management. Please block your date and book your seat now. You can register online here.
