Distinguished Author Series
Speaker:
Jeannette Hanna, Vice President, Brand Strategy and co-author, Ikonica, A Field Guide to Canada’s Brandscape
Topic:
THE NEW BRAND ECOLOGY
Presented in cooperation with the Women’s Leadership Circle®
Canada’s “brandscape” is undergoing its own powerful climate change. Based on original research from the book, Ikonica, A Field Guide to Canada’s Brandscape, co-author Jeannette Hanna provides a provocative view of what’s changing, why and how Canadian marketers adapt. Understanding the interplay of commerce, culture and community, in the age of transparency and authenticity, is a real competitive advantage especially in terms of employee engagement and customer loyalty.
Hanna profiles how Canada’s most successful and resilient brands align commercial value with cultural and community values. Drawing from interviews with the stewards of leading Canadian brands (Tim Hortons, Cirque du Soleil, Mountain Equipment Coop, Canadian Tire among others), this presentation will illustrate practical lessons that brand managers can learn from Canada’s best.
