THIS EVENT IS OVER

Marketing's Mandate
Defining marketing today as B2C or B2B or “business TO anything" falls short of delivering the stakeholder value required to drive modern corporations forward. As the head of their organization's marketing function, CMOs must relentlessly focus on human centricity -- solving real human problems and needs in creative and innovative ways that develop deeper connections with all of the stakeholders that their their organization serves. To carve a new path forward, the B4H Summit will re-calibrate the foundational tenets of brand building -- creative ideas informed by rich human insights that direct the brand experience throughout all touchpoints in the enterprise.
This is the B4H (Brands 4 Humans) revolution.
