Hosted by John Gerzema, this Webinar addresses the issue that many marketers still see metrics like trust and awareness as the backbone of how brands are built. However, this is no longer the case. These metrics do not add to increased asset value. In fact, by following them, the declining value of their brands acutally increases. Marketers must learn to reconnect with consumers via social media and this Webinar talks about how this goal can be achieved.

Through this Webinar You Will Learn to:

  • Adapt new cultural values, consumer behaviors and management opportunities to reconnect with the new consumer.
  • Convince higher-ups that implementing a social media strategy is a good idea using metrics as proof.
