LEADING BRAND EVOLUTION

Navigating Change Through Brand Leadership

You are a marketer. But more than that — you are a leader of change.

In today’s volatile world, brands don’t just navigate change — they create it. And yet, the hardest part isn’t always the strategy or the plan. t’s finding the clarity, courage, and creativity to step forward when the path ahead feels uncertain. Because change isn’t linear — it’s messy, emotional, and uncomfortable. But that’s where leadership lives.

Ellie Norman’s "Leading Brand Evolution" gives you the tools to shift from reacting to leading. Drawing from first-hand lessons across Formula 1, Formula E, Honda, Virgin Media, and Manchester United, Ellie shares how to:
•    Reconnect to the emotional core of your brand, revealing what was always there.
•    Embed culture and purpose as everyday practices, not just words on a wall.
•    Co-create with your audience, turning them from consumers into contributors.
•    Use marketing as a compass to simplify complexity and drive transformation.
•    Build influence across the business to make marketing a leadership force.

Don’t just market change. Lead it.
