Presentation: “Pragmatic Branding: How to Create Brands That Are Simple, Social and Scalable”
Traditional branding is too slow, complicated, and un-collaborative for today’s pace of innovation and communication. To survive and thrive, brands must now be more than relevant, compelling and competitive. They must be easy to grasp, share, and grow.
Drawing on extensive branding experience with industry innovators like AT&T Mobility, Applied Biosystems, and AutoShare, as well as his experience as a technology entrepreneur in the MaRS Incubator, Axle Davids will reveal the new brand strategies and new tactics to help your brand simplify, scale and succeed.
