Growth Starts With Creating Demand For Your Brand
Industry expert, Tim Williams, explains how he took insights from his previous agency life to help leaders create demand for their brands and grow their business. And his advice is simple…focus your business, find your niche and then (the hardest part) say no to opportunities that do no serve that focus. From his days on Madison Avenue, to then leading independent agencies, to now consulting for hundreds of organizations across the globe, you’ll see why his advice is invaluable. You might know Tim’s work from his two books, Take a Stand for Your Brand and Positioning for Professionals. His ideas on revolutionizing the traditional business model have been the fodder of much industry discussion and debate about how to reshape a business. We hope you leave this interview with new ideas and refreshed vision to grow your business.
“The phrase ‘Best Practices,’ is like nails on a chalkboard to me.”
