Learn the practical skills used by top CHIEF BRAND OFFICERS (CBO).

What is a CBO?

CBOs are responsible for discovering, defining, developing and directing how your brand is perceived. Business Strategy is driven by Brand Strategy. Your unique Brand DNA is the heart of your brand strategy; what you stand for, to whom and why - and how you go about doing it.

The best CEOs operate as CBOs too - or employ a CBO. The best brand strategists operate as Fractional CBOs - indispensable business partners to their clients.

Enroll IN the CBO Masterclass and enjoy THE BENEFITS OF BELONGING to the LBSA Brand Builders Community

Whether you're a business owner, a solopreneur, an established or an aspiring brand strategist, as a Lighthouse Brand Strategy Academy member, you'll learn the secrets of some of the world's most famous and enduring brands. You'll be mentored on how to apply the process and implement tools to your business solutions.

WHY LIGHTHOUSE?

A lighthouse is a wonderful metaphor for building a strong brand.

Lighthouses are buildings of purpose. They are built to last, standing for centuries.

They are built on foundations of solid rock (unshakeable beliefs and values). 

They stand tall and command a significant territory.

They withstand storms and warn of danger.

They help steer a safe passage, even when the path ahead is unclear.

And they have strong beacons that cast light out into the dark…

Did you know that every lighthouse beacon is unique? Each has a beam or pattern of flashes, or colour that says: ‘This is who I am, this is where I stand and what I believe in - do you believe in the same?’

That’s why I named my online brand strategy program The Lighthouse Brand Strategy Academy.

It’s designed to help brand-builders everywhere learn the practical skills to operate as CBOs in building enduring ‘lighthouse’ brands.

Each one unique.

The CBO Masterclass is an easy-to-follow 6-step approach that follows the trademarked Brand Centered Management™ process adopted by thousands of brand-building professionals around the world and many of the world’s iconic brands.

FROM INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS TO THE WORLD'S MOST ENDURING BRANDS, THESE STRATEGIES HAVE HELPED THOUSANDS OF PROFESSIONALS OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS.

But you don't have to take my word for it.

The timeless principles taught inside The CBO Masterclass have been used by the top brand consultancies and to train leaders inside the world’s biggest brands.

William Grunwald, Founder, Dark Room Alley

Online course review by Daniell Clark Brand Strategist

DANIELLE LEVERAGED HER COMPELLING BRAND DNA TO LIGHT UP HER BRAND AND CAREER

Before working with Peter, I felt unsure and apprehensive about how to progress my brand consulting business. With Peter's help, I have implemented changes that improved my processes as well as my understanding of brand strategy and crafting a compelling Brand DNA. Within weeks, I transitioned to a fully-fledged brand strategist and registered my business with Companies House. I am now delivering amazing results for my clients by demystifying brand jargon and providing clarity of purpose and position. With this new found focus, I am on the path to even greater success."

Dim Sum Strategy Book – Bite Sized Tools to Build Stronger Brands

My Book

In the past, brands were the sole domain of owners, advertisers and marketers. Strategies were crafted in smoke-filled boardrooms and rolled out with little to no input from consumers.

Times have changed. Today, consumers are the new owners. They have more information, more channels, more power and more choice but less time, less loyalty and less trust than ever before. Brands intersect every aspect of our lives, but the business of building brands is still misunderstood.

Dim Sum Strategy presents a carefully curated selection of proven strategic tools, with insights and anecdotes from three decades working with some of the world's leading brands at the world's top agencies. The book is structured to follow the author's proven Brand Centered Management(TM) process, with a smattering of different "tools" split into four parts: Discovery, Definition, Direction, and Delivery. Each tool is presented in bite-sized, standalone chunks; you can read the book in stepwise fashion or cherry-pick in whatever order you wish--just like a dim sum meal.

Book Reviews from Amazon

A book packed full of tools that you can slot into your own working practice

This book is a hugely valuable resource, jam-packed with useful tools, ideas and inspiration for a working strategist. I have been listening to this book on Audible. Read by Peter himself, the pace is good and it's very easy to follow. A supporting PDF shares the graphics that Peter talks through giving good solidity to the experience. Sometimes a book can stay on the Audible platform but for me, this book needs earmarking, underlining and annotating. It's a tool for regular reference so I'll be buying it in print form as well!

Juno

This book will elevate your brand to new heights

As the CEO of the one of fastest-growing industries, the "Dim Sum Strategy" offered invaluable insights on crafting a winning roadmap to cultivate our company's brand and perpetuate its influence in the long run. This book was brimming with captivating anecdotes and real-life instances, showcasing both triumphs and setbacks in the business realm, all presented in a straightforward and engaging manner. I endorse this book for any corporate visionary aiming to establish or revitalize their company's brand. It serves as an exceptional resource for comprehending your existing foundation and charting a course toward a more formidable brand presence.

EZEQUIEL ABRAMZON

Peter's book “Dim Sum Strategy” is full of tools and frameworks that will help you understand why building a brand is the most important thing in your business. It breaks down fundamental aspects of brand strategy into bite-sized pieces, easy to understand but more importantly, easy to apply! It's one of the most practical books I read when I started to craft my methodology as a brand consultant.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • This masterclass has been designed to deliver maximum value in minimum time. Dedicated students can expect to complete the masterclass in 6-9 weeks. Professionals applying it to their brands and businesses should allow 2-3 months.

    The value you get out of the program is proportionate to the time you invest in it. You should be prepared to commit a minimum of 2-4 hours a week.

    I've had students that have 'binged' the program and completed it in 2 weeks...and others that have taken nearly 2 -years. There are no rules on timing - it's what works for you.

    The course is self-paced and self-directed so you can easily refer back to any lesson or topic whenever needed. You can dip in and out and take pauses as required. We all live in the real world with the demands of business, holidays, family, health and other priorities. It is not uncommon for students to take a month off, then return to complete their program.

  • Enrollment is continuous and ongoing.

  • Thank you for reading my book! While it is packed with information and resources, it does not go in-depth into the development of your Brand DNA. The masterclass takes you through the 4Ds Brand Centered Management™ process in a much more detailed step-by-step fashion. There is a wealth of information and education in the live weekly cohort sessions as well. And, upon completion, you earn CBO certification.

  • The CBO Masterclass includes regular live cohort sessions, (currently bi-weekly) as well as optional personal 1:1 sessions with me if enrolled in Done With Community program.
