SP Online Session: Differently New! How to successfully build a long-term brand for SMEs. The SME sector is changing. One of the biggest challenges remains the "War for Talents".

It is becoming increasingly difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to recruit new employees with new skills or to integrate them permanently into the organisation. While isolated employer branding campaigns often fail to meet expectations, more and more medium-sized companies are opting for integrated brand building. A long-distance run that pays off.
In this 60-minute online session, our three experts Philipp Brune, Matthias Juhnke and Jochen Theurer will provide a practical insight into the process of holistic brand development, especially for SMEs, and show the power a strong brand can have internally and externally. In focus: the necessary requirements for successful employer branding.
Case Studies
Using three practical examples, we would like to look at the opportunities, but also the challenges, of successful brand work. What experiences have we had with positioning, brand development or internal and external communication? What promotes the process? What slows it down?
Furthermore, we will illustrate why holistic brand development can result in a sustainable change process and why identity and culture are often underestimated magnets for medium-sized businesses.
One hour - many impulses:
- What is the significance of the brand for SMEs, who is responsible, and how does the brand affect the recruitment of new employees?
- What does a branding process look like for a medium-sized company?
- How do I create a forward-looking brand with internal and external appeal that embodies tradition and values at the same time?
- When is the right time for a medium-sized company to (re)invest in the brand?
- What conditions must be created within the company, but also technologically and in design, in order to be successful not only in strategy, but also in the roll-out and application of a new brand identity?
- Insights into exciting case studies of past branding projects.
- 45 minutes presentation + 15 minutes Q&A session.
Who is this online session interesting for?
- For managers who want to learn more about the importance of the brand and its role in attracting new talent.
- For all brand managers who are planning or currently accompanying real changes in brand management.
- For all decision-makers who want to learn more about the benefits of integrated brand work.
- For all those who want to broaden their horizons and learn from best and bad practice.
