13 November 2008

Organised by Singapore Business Federation
Branding for Growth by Brand Finance Consultancy (Singapore) Pte Ltd

Licensing brands for use on unrelated products has become an important part of the marketing mix. Desirable brands once limited themselves to their core products. By creating an alliance with a licensee, large companies (albeit foregoing short-term gains) are able to improve brand awareness. This strengthens the role of the brand as a long-term contributor to profits and cash flows. The key issues of brand licensing, franchising and extension are explored. Good licensing depends on total commitment of management, strong brands, excellent strategy and watertight protection of intellectual property.

IP Engineers’ Course

The Academy’s IP Engineers' Training Course is an intensive 4 day modular training course that is designed for busy non-IP professionals who wish to have a good grasp of the legal and practical fundamentals of IP. It provides them with the necessary tools to enable them to contribute effectively to the development of their intellectual assets and the overall IP strategy for their organisations.

As IPRs are increasingly interwoven with issues in commerce, computer and internet regulations, communications and the regulation of medicine, this Course has a special focus on IP issues in Information Technology and Biotech. However, given the modular nature of this Course, participants are free to choose from the relevant modules according to their areas of interest, and customise their IP education/training in accordance with their career goals.

Transforming Your People Into Brand Champions by StrategiCom Asia Pte Ltd

Just as a chain is only as strong as the weakest link, a company is only as strong as its people. But just having people is not enough. To build a strong brand, you need to transform your people into brand champions. A brand champion is an employee who is aligned to the brand and will evangelise the brand. Without brand champions, there is no way a brand can grow.
Developing brand champions is a difficult and time consuming process but it is something that is not an option. A company without brand champions is like a shark without teeth. It is vulnerable to attacks by hungry competitors. Like building a skyscraper, building brand champions requires a thorough understanding of the process and the systematic application of branding methodology.
