How do you build a brand that connects on a human level?
How do you ensure that your brand’s marketing approach is diverse, equitable, and inclusive to its core?
What are the best ways to interact with your audience and communicate your brand’s impact?
How does all of this boil down to how you build your content strategy?
For Spring Activator’s first community event of 2021, we’re inviting experts from the inclusive marketing and storytelling space to shine a light on what it means to build a brand that is inclusive and resonates on a deep level.
We envision a future where every business is an impact business. Growing this important movement includes integrating DEI practices into brand-building and being able to engage with audiences to scale impact.
If you are curious about how diversity, equity, and inclusion overlap with marketing and communications and what you should start doing today to drive your brand in the direction of impact, join us!
