What is the Cross-Functional Brand Strategy for Senior course about?

Brand strategy often lives in silos: marketing owns messaging, product owns features, and operations own delivery. Yet customers experience the brand as one. This gap creates friction, inconsistent positioning, and lost opportunity, especially when scaling across regions or service lines. Leaders are stepping in, but most lack a structured way to align functions around a shared brand truth.
