Every charity brand should have a brand strategy and story which clearly articulates what you do, how you do it and why you exist.
The brand strategy should provide a guiding light and run through the whole brand experience from products and culture to communications and innovation. The brand story should have a role for supporters to connect them with your cause and corporate strategy to build empathy and inspire support.
This Brand Breakfast explored how to create a brand strategy and story that defines a unique market position, with examples from organisations that have successfully done just that.

About the Brand Breakfast
CharityComms’ Brand Breakfast is an informal forum where brand managers come together to discuss issues of mutual interest and share examples of good practice.
These events are a great opportunity to meet your peers, compare notes on workplace practices and share successes, ideas, challenges and inspiration. The group is designed to encourage networking and peer to peer support, sharing issues in a ‘safe’ environment.
If you’re interested in presenting at a future event, please contact Vanessa Weddell.
