Branding With a Shot
Alina Wheeler’s book Designing Brand Identity is considered a bible for brand professionals. In this breezy, inspirational e-book, you’ll glean insights from two chapters of the book:
- How brand governance has evolved.
- Why Deloitte’s brand center is a best-in-class benchmark for brand teams.



Sustaining Brand Beyond Day Two: A New Approach to Modern Brand Governance
In this webinar, join Kelley Grover - Senior Global Brand Manager at Deloitte - as we discuss the evolution of Deloitte's brand center, Brand Space, and introduce the “new rules” of brand governance that all brands should follow.
Three key takeaways you’ll learn:
- How has brand governance been disrupted?
- Why do 70% of rebrands lose momentum at or around the 18-months post-launch?
- What are the “new rules” of brand governance that all brands should follow?



Brand Asset Management Comparison Worksheet
Through research with brand leaders and an analysis of many brand center RFPs we've found it takes more than features and functionality to choose a solution that will help you manage your brand successfully.
Many evaluation criteria ignore important criteria that are key to ensuring that you choose not only a system, but the right partner that will help you achieve your long-term brand management objectives. Use this worksheet to inform the criteria your using and evaluate the solutions that best fit your goals.



Brand Management Scorecard
Evaluate and prioritize which activities can be improved to best deliver against your goals.
A brand’s health starts on the inside. It combines components of governance and the evolution capabilities over time to scale brand. Seeing the landscape of brand governance from an internal perspective helps brand managers lobby for budgets, build long term plans, and address short term issues.
There is no one-size-fits-all model for brand governance. We created this updated scorecard to help brand leaders understand strengths and opportunities to benchmark their brand governance activities against best in class.



The Great Automation 2023 State of the Law Report
As we look at today’s legal landscape, the Smokeball team is in awe of how rapidly the legal community has adopted new ways to attract and serve clients since the global pandemic began in 2020. Smokeball surveyed 200 law firms with less than 30 employees across the United States to better understand these industry shifts and emerging trends. In three short years, legal professionals have learned how to work from anywhere, provide clients with the same (or better) levels of service remotely, and run their law firms as efficient, profitable businesses.
But there is still a long road ahead to harness the true power of adopted technology. The next era will focus on streamlining: unifying systems to improve law firms’ workflows, increase profits, and better support client relationships.
