Recruiting Users Early

| 10:40a | (Off)Brand: Missing the Mark
Brands signify the relationships people have with products and services, so designing and protecting that brand is important right from the start. When those relationships falter, brands suffer and can even die. What can we learn from failed brand management? By deconstructing failures, we can engineer at least some of the risk out of our business strategies. Join Trademark Attorney Lara Pearson (Rimon Law Group) and Cultural Marketing Strategist John Rooks (The SOAP Group), as they explore case studies of poor brand management and offer insights, strategies and tools on trademark protection and authentic marketing. |
