Lunch & Learn at Edelman: The Power of Purpose [Net Impact Chicago Professional Chapter]
Today’s “citizen consumers” expect organizations to address social and environmental issues, to engage with them as they do so. Marketing and PR campaigns that highlight a few niche initiatives are far from being enough. Action before communication is a fundamental imperative of the evolution of brand strategy. Once authentic action is in place, brands can begin to build movements that create social value. And brands that lead recognize that globalization and transparency demand communications and engagement strategies that are built to last.
When: Wednesday, October 7, 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Where: 200 E. Randolph St., 63rd Floor
