As part of a series of free online "Café-conférences" entitled "Facing the crisis together", KEDGE is pleased to invite you to its third session on the theme "Content & Culture: How Brands need to be part of it, adapt and react" hosted in English by Maria Garrido.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
“Content & Culture: How Brands need to be part of it, adapt and react”
Brands are expected to be part of culture. Being part of culture is key to business success. Not all brands play the same role in culture, nor do they perform in the same way facing crisis. Understanding content role for brand’s industry, and how to adapt your brand content to unexpected events & crisis without losing brand DNA are key.
