Lean Startup Branding: Marketing Your Startup—Idea Through Launch

Branding is the marriage of marketing and design, applied to build awareness of your products and company, and ultimately sell your offerings.

Lean Startup BRANDING (LSB) Workbook 2, is the first business marketing book to unify the marketing/branding process. LSB brings together target marketing methods with graphic design techniques, to produce smart marketing strategies and striking campaigns that uniquely brand your products, services, and company.

Bestselling author, and Stanford Marketing instructor, J. Cafesin, introduces an entirely new Branding paradigm. Way beyond marketing theory, or branding stories, LSB takes you step-by-step through the branding and marketing of your new venture. Create corporate and product identity packages. Examine the fundamental principles of effective design, and learn to produce multichannel print and digital marketing campaigns that get greater response.

The prerequisite for LSB Workbook 2: BRANDING, is LSM Workbook 1: Productization. Branding your business begins only once you've become intimate with the offerings you are planning to sell, and identified who will find value in them.

Whether you're launching a new product or startup, or marketing a growing business, you must continually produce campaigns to create a thriving business. Through text, slides, challenges and projects, LSB Workbook 2 empowers entrepreneurs to CEOs with the knowledge to give birth to a startup. Utilizing lean resources you'll learn to create and produce professional-quality digital and print marketing, that generate the greatest conversion (clicks; try; buy; subscribe).
