THE PROGRESS INSTINCT

For brands in a recession, it’s a poignant time for purpose if we can activate the right instinct.

In this talk, Alain Sylvain, Founder & CEO of Sylvain Labs will argue that our ability to move things forward in times of crisis is dependent on activating the instincts that don’t come naturally during a crisis. He’ll unpack the energy and adrenaline that we must navigate, and the potential it brings if we can activate “The Progress Instinct” over “Fight or Flight”  an instinct that allows for longer-term thinking and planning. He’ll explore the roles of brands and companies of all sizes in shaping this seminal moment in business, and argue that it’s time to forget lofty words and embrace the true utility of brand purpose in the fundamental needs and wellbeing of people. Finally, he’ll identify the imperatives crucial to provoking The Progress Instinct amid a recession — and the techniques we need to get there with the upper-hand.

KEEPING AMERICA RUNNING IS MORE THAN JUST A TAGLINE

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Dunkin' and its franchisees leaned into their brand purpose, refilling optimism, to pivot and meet the emerging, urgent needs revealed across U.S. communities. The brand's roles as daily ritual for millions of people typically means great coffee fast, fun and delicious menu offerings, and loyalty perks that reward guests for coming back again and again.
