Description

It’s common knowledge that meaningful brands have to stand for something. But how can you say what your brand stands for if you don’t understand what your brand stands against? In this session, join SS+K and Smartsheet, both honorees of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list, as they share how their strategy of keeping enemies close is the key to building insightful and innovative brands. They’ll also draw upon lessons from politics to discuss the power of establishing heroes and villains in storytelling to motivate change.
