Buzz Equity: Building Brand Relationships That Inspire Generations

Professional Development Workshop Set 6

Tuesday, Oct. 16, 8–9:15 a.m.

Room: Salons 1 - 2

Track: Tools & Techniques

No longer do young adults buy a Ford because their parents drove one. Brands today simply cannot depend on that implied brand equity. They have to work within each new generation to connect with consumers through meaningful, tangible programs grounded in their interests and needs. Through buzz-building programs, organizations can intercept that brand equity lifecycle and engage consumers on their own terms.
