Ocean Tomo, a part of J.S. Held, Managing Director Greg Campanella will speak on the topic of brand valuation and monetization at a webinar hosted by the Licensing Executive Society Valuation and Pricing Committee.
A brand, simply put, is a bundle of Intellectual Property and other legal rights, but it is also one of a modern organization’s most valuable assets, with a powerful influence on business operations and customer perception.
A company’s brand, from a valuation perspective, is a combination of observable elements such as iconography (i.e., images and symbols used in marketing), trade dress, and slogans as well as other intangible elements such as reputation, emotions evoked, and key values. These elements collectively form the identity of the firm and its brand, authenticate, and differentiate it from the competition, and form the basis of brand value. Attendees will learn how to identify this brand value, and how that value can be leveraged for economic benefits ranging from financing to licensing and litigation.
The panel, including experts from GE, Brand Finance, Ocean Tomo, and CBIZ, will discuss real-world examples of how they help companies turn brand value into bottom-line results.
The webinar takes place on Thursday, September 8, 2022, from 11:00 am -12:00 pm ET. To learn more, contact Gregory Campanella at [email protected] or +1 (415) 946-2605. To register, visit: https://members.lesusacanada.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1657422&group=
