Stand Out From the Crowd...With a Brand that tells your story
Lydia is the overseeing Brand Manager at Pierre Branding Group, LLC and counsels executives transitioning into entrepreneurs through the process of maintaining, improving, and upholding their reputation right where they are as they build their brand.
In her role as a Brand manager and Strategist, Lydia is tasked with managing all identity aspects of a product or service, as well as overseeing advertising and marketing initiatives to ensure that they’re in line with the brand’s identity and messaging. The nature of the role requires frequent interfacing with other roles and departments including research, product development, marketing, external creative agencies, and more. This is why it’s imperative that a brand manager is a team player and an exceptional communicator who can bridge these varied interests and create a unified message for the brand.
Robert Walters sums it up nicely: “A Brand Manager is responsible for adapting a brand strategy for a company’s target market. As the ‘brand guardian’, brand managers maintain brand integrity across all company marketing initiatives and communications, and may manage a portfolio of products.”
Clearly, her role as a brand manager is a multi-faceted one. However, Lydia sees herself as more of a Brand Coach because she is personally involved in the training and development of the client, analyzing their performances, instructing in relevant skills and providing encouragement. At times, she is also responsible for the guidance of the client in their lifestyle as well as their chosen industry. While some professionals prefer to have a laser focus on one aspect of marketing or advertising, some professionals like Lydia, are particularly well-suited to the demands of a role that requires both big picture-vision and simultaneously getting hands-on at the granular level.
