What does a brand mean to you? Our Co.next Yawn Marketing Masterclass took place today at Indigo Swan HQ, where we cranked up the heating (#LoveSnow) and enjoyed a fantastic session with Yawn's Head of Creative Strategy, Robert H. We covered everything from building trust through positive leadership and engaged staff to delivering exceptional customer service. Norfolk businesses like Aviva and BeWILDerwood Norfolk were highlighted as prime examples. We also dove into topics like exploiting rhythms, walking your cat 😻, and how to use brand conviction as a springboard for success. A fantastic way to finish these incredible Masterclasses with Yawn Marketing for 2024. Coming soon for 2025! Our calendar of Masterclasses, Mentor Mondays, socials and exciting events! ☕ 🍻 💻 🎼 🌟 💛 #BrandBuilding #MarketingMasterclass #CreativeStrategy #BrandConviction #Conext
