Join AMA Nashville for our next power luncheon on May 9th at 11:00am at City Winery!
Are you ready to re-imagine the future of marketing?
For 75 years, marketing operated on the simple idea that: Brand = Promise + Experience.
Today it is:
Brand = Experience STORY
While the advent of social media has shattered one-way interruptions of promise-making in favor of co-created storytelling, this focused concentration on storytelling is harming our brands. The rapidly changing, post-digital, network–based world requires a NEW SET of PARADIGMS FOR the 21st Century Marketer.
According to award-winning CMO and current CEO of the American Marketing Association Russ Klein , “Experience design is the next frontier for all enterprises and brands.” Without intentional experience design, a brand is at high risk of losing both its clarity and meaning, two essential predicates for brand building.
Russ Klein’s new and patented construct, Brand = Experience STORY means a brand can be built on experience design alone and can be strengthened by effective storytelling. Without intentional and positive experience design, a brand cannot compete on storytelling alone.
Participants who join us on May 9th will discover:
• Why chasing so-called brand loyalty is no longer the end game for marketers
• The importance of reliability and usefulness in earning customer trust
• How to become “insight-prone” and how storytelling figures into brand-building and experience design.
• What world-class experience design looks like
• How and where to start the process for building an MLE (Minimum Loveable Experience)
• Ways to measure success
• Ingredients for becoming a 21st Century Leader
Do not miss out on this opportunity to receive in person training with Russ Klein, one of the most distinguished, awarded and recognized marketers in our time.
