About Brand Summit

Brand Summit story:
We live in a world that is more technology enabled and connected than ever, the old way of doing business where you create a nice logo and just throw an Ad out there is dead. People now a days especially millennials will only engage with brands that stand for certain values, values that they believe in. They will stop using a brand just because it collides with their own values, they expect PURPOSE from brands. As a brand person it could be very easy to loose sight of the fundamentals and what is important to your brand, being lured behind platforms and technology choices for fear of missing out.

Enter brand summit
To start our long brand journey, we focus on the fundamentals of a brand and the importance of PURPOSE, through this we can learn how brands grow to lead a category and create an unbreakable bond with their community. Certainly branding could be easily mistaken for advertising, marketing and sales, so we decided to start this journey in Cairo the heart of consumer engagement in the region. Baaghil, a staunch advocate for changing how brand and business is conducted in the region, leads this mission; joined by 6 inspiring industry authorities, Sidney Evans, Dahlia Zayed, Viviana La Percha, Omar Hikal, Hazem El Zayat and Youssef Shokry, who have an impressive background and experience on brand, Entrepreneurship, Digital, and Purpose driven business practices.

Strategy on Differentiation and Category Ownership: “Create Your Space”

BAAGHIL

To evolve your business from its current standing to a position achieving maximum returns is the result of thorough and critical assessment of your business. Through strategized branding and marketing and by adopting “Create Your Space” as your business model, evolving your business will be successful. In today’s highly competitive market, a business is required to offer far more than just quality, price and availability. It is the values you bring to your current existence as a brand or a new set of innovative values you bring in as a new market entrant.
The reality of the market leaves you with two options to sustain your business existence: either to evolve the category or revolutionize the market. The key message “Create Your Space” delivers is that success is the product of innovative proposed value maintained by a deep understanding on three fronts: the business model, branding and marketing.

6 Ways Anyone Can Build a Powerful “Personal Brand”

SIDNEY EVANS

Personal Branding is the practice of defining your professional purpose and being able to articulate your experience and value to your target audience through digital media and social channels like blogs, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. The art of personal branding is an integral skill set regardless of where you are in your career. It is invaluable to your employability, growth and success. Building your personal brand requires a well-planned strategy and commitment to put your best foot forward now and in the future. Your personal brand is a carefully designed message that’s compelling and attracts the right people. It helps you stand out for who you are and what you do best.
You’re ready to make a career move–maybe you’re looking for a new job, launching a side business, or eyeing a promotion. In all of these instances, boosting your personal brand can help you achieve your goal. Most know the value of a personal brand but often do not know where to begin. Anyone has the power to create a powerful personal brand once they understand the “why”, “what”, and the “how”.
Why is it important to ensure your brand message translates effectively across all channels? What does your brand currently say about you? 
How do you ensure our value proposition is communicated effectively?
Learning the importance of creating a powerful personal brand provides an unparalleled ability for you to have global reach based on your what you do best. There are six actionable steps that anyone can take today to start building their personal brand. We will explore each principle in depth with vivid case studies that are utilized from the commercial world and help you apply them to the most important product – Brand You!
