Brands are valuable. A strong brand creates trust, binds customers and sets itself apart from the competition. Nevertheless, start-ups and medium-sized companies in particular often do not know exactly how much their brand is actually worth and, above all, how they can successfully protect their brand.
Brand Finance partnered up with IP Consultancy, Meissner Bolte for an online webinar to address questions about brand protection and valuation in order for organisations to get the most out of their brand.
Brand experts at Meissner Bolte, Gernot Schröer and Markus Mainx explored how companies should legally protect their brand (s), why this is important and what to pay attention to in practice.
Ulf-Brün Drechsel from Brand Finance provided an overview of what is important when evaluating brands, how their value is determined and what advantages brand evaluation and ongoing brand value monitoring can have for your company.
Ulf-Brün also announced the findings of the Brand Finance 2021 study into the 100 most valuable German brands.
The webinar (delivered in German) was aimed at professionals in the field of marketing and branding, but also at entrepreneurs and employees from branding departments.
