GROWTH PILLAR: Marketing & Branding WHO THIS IS FOR: SMB owners / Solopreneurs / Corporate escapees / Leaders building systems WHAT THEY'LL GAIN: How to define a clear brand story. How AI is changing the way customers find you. Practical steps to improve your brand's visibility right now. Most business owners think they have a sales problem. Zoltan Lorantffy says it's usually a brand problem. Zoltan is the founder of BrandRelate Marketing — a brand strategy and AI marketing agency helping small and medium-sized businesses look credible, communicate clearly, and grow with purpose. He brings 25 years of corporate brand experience, including work with global firm Interbrand, to the SMB world. In this Canada Growth Network Power Hour session, Zoltan breaks down what a brand actually is — and why most businesses are underselling themselves without knowing it. He covers brand value, the three ways a brand creates real worth (driving choice, securing loyalty, commanding a premium), and why your brand story is the one thing that holds all of it together. He also gets practical about AI. Fifty percent of consumers are now using AI to find products and services. If your brand isn't showing up in AI-generated answers, you're invisible to half your market. Zoltan explains how brand strategy and AI optimization work together — and what SMB owners can do right now to close that gap. Key topics covered: Why your sales problem might actually be a brand problem How brand value is calculated — and why it matters for SMBs The three pillars of brand worth: choice, loyalty, premium Why your brand story must be consistent at every touch point How AI search is displacing traditional Google results in 2026 What AI visibility actually means and how to measure it Free offer from Zoltan: Take the free AI Visibility Assessment — find out how well AI systems are using your content right now.
