Sid Madge, creative partner of Bala-based Mad Hen has become a well-renowned speaker at workshops and events, providing valuable information for many businesses.
During the last year Sid has delivered numerous branding workshops on behalf of Business Wales providing businesses with a real insight into building their brand’s intrinsic value and forging a more emotional connection with their audiences.
So, to give a flavour of the advice Sid gives to companies through the workshops, we asked him to set out his top 5 tips on building brand value and improving marketing effectiveness.
- Over £40 million is lost every day in the UK through disengaged employees. So how might you get your staff, supply chain, etc more engaged and motivated?
- Try and find one hour a day for education. Whether it’s about your business or not it’s worth every minute.
- What brands do you admire, and why? What is it about them that you like and what can you learn about them that would benefit your business?
- Take time to listen. You already know what you’re about to say but you don’t know what you’re about to hear. Great businesses have great listening skills.
- See problems as innovation. The only problems you have are the ones you haven’t solved. Promote a culture of accepting problems as challenges. Be open to change.
