About this Event
New Time: SIGs will now be hosted from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

SIG Leaders will lead the discussion in their breakouts.)

Topic: Building a Brand People Love from Day One with Emily Heyward’s Obsessed
Key Takeaways
This SIG event will be a conversation on how to build a brand from scratch. Drawing on Emily Heyward’s newest book Obsessed: Building a Brand People Love from Day One and her interview with Adobe’s 99u, we will discuss the key principles she details that are behind successful branding initiatives.
5 Steps for Branding Success:
- Start before step one: embedding brand into the culture from the start.
- Follow the why: asking why consumers should care about the product to arrive at the heart of your target audience’s emotional need.
- Create community at every stage: forging connections with people through the brand’s interactions.
- The Power of the personal: making brand communications personal and connecting the emotional tie to a product or service’s functional benefits.
- Start a conversation: engaging in a two-way dialogue with consumers instead of a top-down approach.
