HUMANITY MARKETING

Why are some brands loved and others ignored? Most brands today understand they must deliver a complete 360-degree customer experience, with all marketing efforts aligned and working in concert. They invest in the latest technology, track mountains of data and utilize the most effective media channels. Yet, they fail to connect in a meaningful way especially in print. Why do many brands make us feel indifferent while others have a certain something – an emotional appeal? In this high-energy session you’ll learn how to take a more human approach to building brands even in your print efforts.
