the branding highway: accelerate and differentiate your marketing
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
Fortunes are made and companies are sold way above asset value, primarily through the intangible strength of a compelling brand. So why are some firms wildly successful at leveraging their brand while others squander buckets of money on ineffective ads and struggle to earn a return on their marketing dollars? Join Gair Maxwell on The Branding Highway and discover how certain companies grow more than 5-10 times their original size in less than 4 years… while slashing their advertising budget!
You will learn why developing a brand involves much more than picking colours, a logo or spewing “features, advantages and benefits”. It’s about finding the human voice and personality that embodies the spirit of your company and how you communicate that through words, pictures and actions. Learn how iconic brands create conversations that fuel the hearts and minds of loyal customers, despite a saturated advertising world jammed and crammed with the increasing clutter of “white noise” and “ad-speak”. This is a keynote presentation/workshop that reveals key issues of brand development often ignored or glossed over. Drive full throttle past a century of traditional “media-industrial complex” thinking and kick start your brand to the next level with The Branding Highway!

the knowing-doing g.a.p. - how to cross the intention bridge between talk & action
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
Books are read, seminars attended, and ideas generated but when it’s time to head back to the office, little if anything, really changes. “A-ha moments” fade faster than a New Year’s resolution and the same patterns persist. As much as people talk about success, the truth is most individuals and organizations never achieve it. Not because they can’t, but because they
choose not to act on the knowledge that corrects self-defeating behaviours.Gair Maxwell reveals why The Knowing-Doing G.A.P. exists and how to close it with new mind-to-muscle patterns that inspire growth, action and passion for one’s cause, company or personal purpose. No more excuses. No more inertia or irrational fears. Just effective, deliberate action, releasing untapped organizational power and human potential. Great insight worth “Knowing”. A learning experience definitely worth “Doing”.
the "i" in team
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
- In a provocative, entertaining fashion, Gair challenges the way teams are expected to work together, allowing the whole to become greater than the sum of its parts. Those expectations often clash with traditional wisdom, unwritten rules and conflicting agendas, generating subcultures and mini-dramas full of empty excuses, dropped balls and pointed fingers. The “I” In TEAM breaks new ground by focusing on what everyday people can do to achieve higher levels of leadership thinking, quality control, initiative and personal accountability, crucial to the success of any organization and the brand it represents. Ready to hit home runs with your team and boost energy, engagement and execution? Step up to the plate … and take a swing with an uncommonly unconventional learning experience discovered through The “I” In TEAM.
