What do successful brands know that others don’t?

Are you aware there’s an invisible link between your brand and the money in your bank?

Guess what? The most successful companies today know what that is, and they’re clearly doing something that others aren’t doing.

Find out what’s that invisible link in this ‘roll-up-your-sleeves’ Lab session! Here’s the scoop on the next NY Brand Lab:

WHAT IS IT? The NY Brand Lab is opening its doors to a special four-hour morning session, The “Money’s in the Brand”, a ‘work-in-progress’ Lab environment for only 15-18 savvy business people where we will work on turning each brand into a money-making machine.

WHEN? Tuesday, June 29 TIME: 8:30am-12:30pm.

WHERE? The NY Brand Lab takes place in Zing Your Brand’s loft in DUMBO, only two blocks from the Brooklyn Bridge, right near the waterfront. That’s 55 Washington Street, Suite 400 on the corner of Water & Washington Streets.

WHO IS CO-HOSTING THE MONEY’S IN THE BRAND WITH ME?
Jamie Johnson is Chief Profit Maker and independent advisor to creative businesses. She works with firms to manage and refine the components of a healthy, profitable business that generates buzz and revenue — including everything from HR, Marketing, Licensing, Cash Management to IT and Administration. Creative businesses can focus on what they prefer to do — and do best: Create!

Jamie founded her consulting company following nearly 20 years of experience in managing world-class interior design firms. After managing Bunny Williams Inc. for 11 years during its transformation into the leading interior design firm it is today, she went on to become Chief Operating/Chief Financial Officer of Gomez Associates/Mariette Himes Gomez, Inc. and then Thad Hayes, Inc. She also worked in product management with internationally-recognized licensed brands at L’Oreal and Revlon. Jamie has a Masters in Business Administration in Marketing and International Business from New York University Stern School of Business.

WHAT’S THE ACTUAL EXPERIENCE @ THE NY BRAND LAB?
The business of branding and generating revenue is a complex one. It’s not only about managing perceptions and expectations. It’s about going deeper and creating meaningful and powerful connections with your audience. That’s why I keep numbers at The NY Brand Lab small. (Only open to 15-18 people max.)

I know what happens when a small group of smart people put elbows on the same table and get to work. It’s a highly-energized dynamic and only works with motivated, smart and mindful individuals.

What’s more, you and your business brand and money issue get a lot of attention and focus. You’ll come out of the Lab experience with your ‘brand’s point of pain’ addressed to the fullest, and you’ll be ready to jump start your business in a totally new and energized way.

OK. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
You create a stronger emotional connection with your clients. You boost your bottom line. You understand that invisible link between your brand and your financial success. You can raise your visibility and credibility factors. You stop your brand from leaking profits. You understand how to connect with your audience in totally different way. You’re better at managing your audience’s perceptions of your business. You now have a better grasp on your business brand’s emotional IQ and financial IQ. Critical to moving forward in this economy.

WHY NOW?
Following the successful Brand Reinvention Summit last year, and two NY Brand Labs earlier this year, I was hearing that many of you wanted to continue the Brand Dialog — but this time — face-to-face around the issues of money.

This tough economy demands a different thinking about your business. And, that’s one of the best things about The NY Brand Lab. We get to work together. We put elbows on the table and roll up our sleeves and make things happen. I’m delighted to have Chief Profit Maker Jamie Johnson co-hosting this Lab session. I know she’s going to be hugely inspiring and revealing about all things around money and business.

* You get to refresh and revitalize the way you think and talk about your brand and your financial success
* You get to ‘test’ new ideas and concepts with the group
