STORYTELLING THAT CREATES A BRAND THAT LASTS
12:30PM – 1:30PM | LOCATION: SOUTH PACIFIC J | $ 140 The number of new brands entering the beauty category has more than doubled in the past 5 years. A unique product and a meaningful story that has human resonance and connects with a particular segment of consumers in a profound way can be the difference between the brands that have the power to stay and those that pitter out in a few years. Powerful stories that are unique, when executed across all the consumer touchpoints in a consistent and unique way create a moat around the brand that is difficult for competitors to replicate. More importantly, it also creates a multiplier effect in A + P dollar spent. In this session, you will learn how to craft your story in a powerful way. You will also get strategic insights on how to turn your story into a cohesive narrative that touches every piece of the brand and throughout the consumer journey.
