"The foundation of a successful company lies in its employees and their alignment to the organization's culture, strategy and brand promise," said Allan Steinmetz, CEO and Founder of Inward Strategic Consulting. "Alignment between the HR and marketing professionals is the key to make this happen within the company."
At the event, Inward will unveil research on the effects of aligning the internal and external branding activities and messages, and illustrate through speakers and examples how this alignment leads to higher growth, better margins, lower turnover, higher productivity, and greater customer loyalty and retention. Inward will also outline its proprietary, copyrighted approach to creating alignment between a company's external and internal branding activities. Internal branding is a cultural shift within an organization, where the employees become more customer focused and more business focused. Speakers include:
- Monique Mulbry, Senior Director, Brand Strategy, Identity and Communications at Cisco
- Arun Sinha, Senior Facility Fellow, Yale School of Management and former Global CMO at Zurich Financial Insurance
- Rick DeMarco, West Coast Manager at Inward Strategic Consulting, and former Director of Employee Engagement at HP
Steinmetz, who will serve as the summit moderator, adds, "To be a leader in today's marketplace, one cannot depend on improving brand awareness and preference alone, but on how aligned an organization is with its company's values, vision and brand and promise among customers and employees."
Space is limited, so early registration is recommended. The registration fee is $99 and includes a continental breakfast.
