What makes your business different and stand out from your competitors is what sets your company apart.
Even if you have a fabulously successful business, having a brand keeps you current and creates a lasting impression. Your brand helps sell yourself; it is one of your best marketing tools you have. Especially in the digital age, where everything about you and your company is visible for the world to read. It’s better that you create your voice, build your credibility and visibility than for others to “brand you.”

Case Study 1
The Challenge
EMPLOYMENT LAWYER IN MID-SIZED LAW FIRM WANTS TO STAND OUT & BUILD PROFILE
There are lots of employment lawyers but how do you stand out? That was the challenge posed by an employment lawyer at a mid-sized law firm in Toronto.
The sale of cannabis in Canada would become legal in a year and a half.
Naturally, there would be many issues and questions about the impact weed would have in the workplace.
At the time, the discussion was on the legal issues and not the employment law side of the equation. This gave us about a year to establish my client as a subject expert and the GO-TO person.
Building Blocks
Get on as many panels in the HR space and provide commentary in articles, reach out to HR professionals and hold webinars, launch a proactive media campaign to introduce my client to reporters covering the story.
And develop a microsite attached to the company’s main website on weed in the workplace with an organic and paid Google search component.
Results
The client becomes a noted subject expert on weed in the workplace in Canada and is frequently sought out for media comment. He also becomes a consultant to provide advice and guidance to industries such as transportation, that will be affected by the legislation.
