2nd Annual:
Internal Branding and Employee Engagement
Effectively Engaging Employees to Promote the Brand from the Inside Out and Boost Business Profitability
24-25 May 2007: Barcelona, Spain
*******************************************************************************************************************
Employee branding has been considered a "hot" topic in the marketing world of American corporations for the last couple of years. The trend has now hit Europe, where employees have been overlooked as being a corporation's potential front-line brand loyalist. Therefore, as companies continue to develop their brand externally, they are realising, more than ever, the importance of starting from the inside out.
The leaders in brand management recognize that brands define relationships with all their key audiences, notably investors and employees. They also acknowledge that relationships and values relate to behaviors. In today's highly competitive world companies must consider their employees their first market, in order to gain competitive advantage. With this comes the need to bring together professionals in the fields of marketing, branding, communications and HR to discuss the cross over of the disciplines in the area of internal branding and employee engagement .
