Dr. Coleman’s keynote has been designed to help your audience:

  • Rethink how they approach selling the commercial value of brand to senior executives at their organisation.

  • Learn from best practice guidelines and case studies so they can enable their teams to convey the commercial value of brand more effectively.
  • Acquire actionable insights, tools and templates that help them become a more convincing commercial brand marketer.

Keynote context

Getting senior executives, especially the c-suite, to believe in the commercial value of brands is a frequent barrier to brand investment. But with careful thought, persistence and self-belief this issue can be addressed. This keynote will show you how.
