Through his insightful anecdotes and expert advice, you’ll learn the distinctions between personal and business branding and understand the intricacies involved in a successful rebranding effort.

What makes a brand more than just a name or logo? Jim helps us uncover the essence of branding and the strategic differences in approaches that can lead to a game-changing rebrand.
