Branding & Brand Management with Dekker: Branding Strategy+

Top MBAs are expensive, time-consuming, and extremely difficult to get into. My goal with this course is to give you an MBA level of understanding of branding and brand management. Learn from a former Global Brand Manager at Sony PlayStation who studied brand management at Philip Kotler’s Kellogg School of Management and has helped countless startups with their branding.

If you sell marketing services, this gives you a sophisticated edge over other marketers. If you’re a marketing manager, this gives you a strategic understanding of the role of branding. If you’re a founder, this course will show you how to catapult your company to fame.

This course focuses specifically on branding, brand marketing, and brand management. This is not a general course on marketing. I’ll lay out all the foundations of brand strategy and brand tactics, while exploring several case studies both from my hands-on experience as well as my research.

This course is built on my personal experience developing and marketing brands, my academic experience, and branding research from myself and others. I’ll dispel commonly held myths about branding and give you a solid, reliable resource for understanding brands so you aren’t relying on flaky Internet resources.
