Hirthler & Partners offer bid cities a comprehensive
array of services designed to crystallize the best possible
brand position, image and message for the city relative
to the competition and the issues that shape the decision
context. The process typically begins with a two-day brand
positioning workshop for bid leadership, part of which includes
an overview of the international bid process and an in-depth
review of the five-keys to victory.
