CEIBS Global EMBA Master Class in Guangzhou
About the event
In today’s competitive market, relying solely on price competition is no longer a feasible path to sustainable brand growth. While strong manufacturing capabilities and efficient supply chains alone once enabled rapid expansion, the current market slowdown presents a new challenge: in this new environment, how can brands achieve meaningful differentiation leading to long-term success?
Meanwhile, consumers have grown increasingly polarized in their preferences, weighing both rational considerations like product features and cost as well as emotional factors tied to a brand’s values. What does it really take to understand consumers - and translate that understanding into strategic action? To navigate these shifts, companies must have a holistic brand strategy that spans product, distribution, customer experience, and more, with a clear, differentiated brand positioning at its core. In this session, we will discuss how leading brands respond to changing market dynamics and build lasting brand value.
