Dynamic Branding
Electronic media brands, television, radio and the Internet, are different than consumer product brands. They’re dynamic and organic. They change hour to hour, daypart to daypart, season to season, click to click.
In this two-hour session, Lee Hunt will break down the elements of dynamic branding to analyze how different networks create effective channel messaging to define their offerings, differentiate their positioning and reinforce their relevance to target audiences.
Using a combination of live presentation, multimedia and hands-on experiences, we’ll refresh strategic thinking, examine the latest tactics from television’s most successful networks and get inspired by great work.
