Mudahnya, branding merupakan nama dari suatu bisnis yang dijalankan perusahaan. Sedangkan marketing merupakan strategi untuk membangun nama brand bisnis. Ingin mengenal branding secara lengkap? Atau ingin tahu perbedaan branding dengan marketing? Yuk, simak penjelasan lengkap berikut ini.

Mengenal Lebih Dalam Apa Itu Branding
Istilah branding berasal dari kata brand yang berarti merek. Lantas, apa itu branding yang dilakukan perusahaan dalam menjalankan bisnis?

Hi I am Sulaiman Kamara from Sierra Leone

My name is Nomsa Gwatiringa. I am a blessed entrepreneur having lived a full life of opportunities in my passions in hospitality industry, human resources, fulltime Church ministry publications division as regional marketing manager and currently as a real estate agent.
Sometimes the thought that l should have specialised in one area and be a master at it occurs to me but l quickly remind myself that the exposure and diverse experiences l went through, the varied learning opportunities, the mistakes, different projects, business culture, and various people l interacted with,from reporting to a GM, to reporting to a Managing Director and President of an organisation made me wiser, more knowledgeable and adaptable to different roles of the corporate world.

Being a wife and mother of 4 beautiful children aged 27,23,19,& 18, l have learnt to be patient, loving, caring and slow to anger. As a daughter to my late father, may his soul rest in peace, who experienced renal failure after 2 years of incontinence without even knowing about it, l have yearned to be of help to many ageing adult males about the importance of speaking out about any changes they may begin to encounter with age and not be quiet about it. My father told me a month before he passed on that he never knew the importance of drinking water, of taking less salt and eating a balanced diet, something l never thought of or even occurred to me that he needed to be told. The assumption was he is older and knows everything.

A doctor friend of mine told me that incontinence is a disorder that can be rectified with ease and yet many males have died of the eventual renal failure because of ignorance and not coming out to seek help. So my desire is to create a "men's meeting place" which is both virtual social interaction platform as well as walk in social meeting place that allows different men to share their experiences, learn of the issues of incontinence, prostrate enlargement, renal failure and how it is possible to get medical help and be well again. I also wish to provide a place for solutions, giving social and financial aid for medical procedures and support to open dialogue about these issues. This is the main reason why l have joined this course. I truly hope to learn how to position myself in this regard whilst also crystallising this idea mapping the what, the why and the how of this project. I hope to also receive other colleagues thoughts and ideas to help me achieve thus goal.

Thank you for this opportunity to learn in order to be of help to others.

Hi.. My name is Eno, this is my first time on branding 101, it's a great opportunity that mustn't be wasted..

Hi, I'm from the Philippines. I'm planning to set up a nonprofit to address hunger and poverty.

Greetings to all-Branding 101; my name is Shirlene C Olson, Chicago US time zone, currently serving on several Indiana University boards 501(c3) and a retired United States Master Sergeant serving 23 years in the US Army. I am a two-time IUN graduate with an MBA, LSSGB, '20 certification; the BGS, '06 degree was responsible for catapulting the later part of my military career as a Senior Regional Chief instructor.

Later these degrees receive credit for many opportunities of involvement with learning ways to use talent and education on giving back and supporting several philanthropy organizations paying it forward with time, skills, and gifts. I am soon to complete the launching of a branding consultant company and fuel the groundwork I have to learn this far is just the surface of what is required to be successful in several areas before the launch.

I desire to learn and share while at the same time be authentic. Through branding, I am creating social impact and empowerment of others. This course provides the opportunity to get out what you invest. I also look forward to making some connections and gaining knowledge from others who may have been successful, and share their experiences and incite.
