The first thing you do is document your existing brand by answering some strategic questions.

Documenting your brand’s current state is a great way to compare where you are now, with where you want to be. The idea is to describe your understanding of where your brand stands today so you can review and compare your progress as you go through the Plan2Brand eTool.

Plan2Brand breaks down the brand strategy process into 8 modules with introductions, exercises, explanatory videos and examples from real brands. Review, print or share PDFs of your final outcomes from your Brand Strategy Roadmap at any time.
