Do you want to build a stronger brand, create a clear market position, and develop a brand strategy that supports long-term business growth? The Diploma in Brand Positioning & Asset Management by Marketing Levels is an online course for professionals who want to understand how successful brands are built, positioned, managed, and evaluated.

In this course, you will learn how to analyze brand positioning, develop a consistent brand identity, and use established frameworks to strengthen brand recognition and customer relationships. The goal is to help you create a structured brand strategy that supports profitability, loyalty, and sustainable business value.

About the course

Strong brands are not built by chance. They are developed through strategic decisions, a clear identity, and consistent communication that shapes how customers perceive and experience a company.

In this course, you will learn how to develop and evaluate brand strategies using research-based models and practical tools. You will explore what makes brands valuable, how they influence customer decisions, and why strong brands can contribute to higher margins, stronger loyalty, and greater business flexibility.

The course introduces different perspectives on brand strategy, including established approaches developed by Kevin Lane Keller, Les Binet and Peter Field, Byron Sharp and Jenni Romaniuk, Mark Ritson, Robert Heath, Douglas Holt, and Simon Sinek. You will learn how these perspectives differ and how market conditions influence which strategic approaches are most relevant.

You will also explore how to define a brand’s position in the minds of customers and other stakeholders. By examining market conditions, customer associations, competitive advantages, and differentiation, you will learn how to develop a positioning strategy that supports your business objectives.

Another important part of the course focuses on brand identity and distinctive brand assets. You will learn how names, logos, symbols, design, and tone of voice contribute to brand recognition and how these elements can be evaluated and developed over time.

The course is led by Erik Modig, Ph.D., a researcher and lecturer at the Stockholm School of Economics and an expert in marketing, communication, and customer psychology.
