April Leadership Institute: Brand Building for Schools
April 9, 2025 @ 9:00 am - April 11, 2025 @ 2:30 pm

Brand Building for Schools
Presented by: Rhodes Branding
Through this engaging and interactive seminar with Rhodes Branding, Alabama’s district leaders and educators will learn the four essentials of brand building for schools: Positioning, Narrative, Service, and Identity. Facilitators will utilize a fictional profile of an Alabama K-12 district, leading participants through collaborative activities, including performing a competitive analysis and developing a value proposition (Positioning), developing brand messaging and using brand storytelling as a strategy (Narrative), drafting a value proposition (Service) and ultimately developing a brand archetype (Identity). These small group exercises will facilitate the application of K-12 brand-building strategies, preparing participants to strengthen their own districts’ K-12 brands and communicate their unique value to their communities.
