Are your marketing campaigns and HR initiatives failing to hit the mark?
If your marketing campaigns and HR initiatives aren’t giving you the results you’re looking for, chances are that it’s because your marketing and HR teams are working independently of each other when they should be working more collaboratively – sharing information and resources and working towards common goals. Modern companies all over the world are pairing their marketing and HR teams to work more closely together – either on a project-by-project basis or as a fully integrated unit. You should be too.
Branding + HR = “Bhranding”
Ron is the creator of “The Bhranding Equation” (Branding + HR = “Bhranding”) a framework designed to help businesses tear down the silos between their branding and HR teams and replace those synergies with powerful organizational synergies. “The Bhranding Equation” is comprised of six keys that, once mastered, can help business leaders unlock stronger brands and stronger businesses.
Key #1

Start With The End in Mind

Great branding is all about solving business challenges. Starting with the end in mind is all about having a clear sense of direction about where you want to take your organization, clarifying what branding and business goals you want to achieve, and about building a strong branding foundation for future business success.

Key #2

Tell a Compelling Brand Story

The most successful brands tell (and re-tell) a compelling brand story that helps them to become more known, liked and trusted by their employees, customers, vendors/suppliers, the media and other stakeholders that matter most to the organization.

Key #3

Build a Highly Engaged Village

It takes a village to raise a brand! No matter how clever your marketing team may be, they can’t build a brand on their own. To build a strong brand, you need to build a highly engaged village of supporters, influencers and brand ambassadors (both inside and outside of the organization) who are excited about helping your organization to achieve its branding and business goals.

Key #4

Anchor Your Culture in Place

The world’s most powerful brands use brand anchors (such as dynamic purpose, core values, a vibrant vision for their organization’s future, company norms, policies and regulations, and operating principles) to help “anchor” their organizational culture in place.

Key #5

Design a Remarkable Brand Experience

Brands with exceptionally strong employee and customer loyalty aim not for “excellent” or “exceptional” brand experiences, but for “remarkable” brand experiences – the type of positive experiences that get employees, customers and other stakeholders to remark positively about the experience they receive with the brand.

Key #6

Measure, Monitor & Refine

What gets measured, gets managed. In order to efficiently manage and improve on desired outcomes, your organization must decide on, and actively manage, a select group of critical organization metrics and indicators and be prepared to make improvements to these metrics over time.
