Now in its fourth year, the Annual We First Brand Leadership Summit brings a distinct focus on purpose-driven social marketing in today’s changing marketplaces. It also takes a hands-on workshop and training approach to learn how to harness the power of strategic storytelling and the latest social and mobile technologies to build your company’s reputation, employee productivity, sales and social impact.
The Summit gathers 200 brand executives alongside keynote presenters from recognized category leaders around social and environmental impact. Levi Strauss & Co.’s Vice-President of Sustainability, Michael Kobori, and United Nations Foundation’s Chief Communications and Marketing Officer, Aaron Sherinian, will be joining additional select speakers on-stage.
Each attendee leaves with a Social Branding Blueprint that’s practical, actionable and specific to their business and serves as a roadmap for 2016 marketing. Past attendees include executives from Starbucks, Coca-Cola, TOMS, Charity: Water, Toyota, Patagonia, City Year and more.
The Summit is organized into Six Modules of training that take participants from the latest research and insights in today’s social business marketplace, to defining and framing your brand story, to using the latest social and/or mobile technologies to share your story in ways that inspire consumers and customers to build your business.
