I. YODLEE DISCOVERS ITS QUIRKY BRAND PERSONALITY
In 2012, Yodlee, a B2B2C financial services company, decided to rebrand after 13 years with an existing brand. It wanted to more closely align with the current company personality, while maintaining its established assets. The result? A completely new brand identity and messaging platform based on an authentic and credible sense of what's uniquely "Yodlee." This included a global photo and tattoo contest to engage its 700+ employees in the new brand identity. Yodlee tattoos? Yes, we went there... Hear about the methods used to understand their brand attributes and bridge the business and consumer worlds under one brand umbrella.
Speakers:
Ron Barasch, Senior Director, Product Marketing, Yodlee
Liz Travers, Marketing Manager, Yodlee

As a result, companies are being challenged to rethink their assumptions regarding workplace environments and behavior. Put simply, it's a global business phenomenon that leading enterprises call Smarter Working. Learn more about this trend and discover how Plantronics is embracing, marketing and offering tools that enable flexible working to not only become a reality but also thrive.
