Community Branding
"With a community, anything is possible"Your community brand is a critical, foundational dimension of your personal or corporate brand.
Put most simply: It’s the image and reputation that you’re known for (or wish to be known for) among the people in the community who can help you or your organization realize your goals.
Stratiscope can help you define and refine your community brand through our Community Brand Audit, Community Brand Accelerator program, and custom community brand consulting.

Why you need a strong community brand
We all have a community brand. But it’s only when your community brand is fully activated and leveraged that it begins to benefit you.
PERCEPTION
Perception IS reality. A strong community brand that you live and demonstrate in your ideas, words, and actions—represents your organization’s (or your) reputation.
ADVANCEMENT
As you develop your strong community brand you’ll do work and build relationships that can help you achieve your next level of professional growth.
ACHIEVEMENT
With a strong community brand you can achieve your goals more quickly because you have community along with you, in support of you and your mission.
RESILIENCE
A strong community brand helps you withstand, rise above, and move on from setbacks dealt you by your sector, customer/client base, or the natural environment.
