OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Why do associations struggle with something as fundamental as branding? In this eye-opening episode of Association Transformation, hosts Andrew Chamberlain and Elisa Pratt welcome Tom Silva, Principal of Silver Brand and author of "The Challenge of Association Branding," to unpack the unique obstacles facing membership organizations. From volunteer governance structures that create decision-making bottlenecks to the multi-dimensional member experience that goes far beyond functional benefits, Tom reveals why traditional branding approaches fall short in the modern and future-focused association space. Discover how to move beyond logos and taglines, improve generic messaging that speaks to no one, learn the difference between marketing (the story you tell) and brand (the story your customers tell about you), and explore practical frameworks like the "minimum viable brand" approach that can help your organization create authentic, experience-driven connections with members. Whether you're facing industry disruption. Can’t define your value proposition or simply haven't held up the mirror in a while, this conversation provides actionable insights for associations ready to transform their brand strategy from the inside out.
