April Professional Development Meeting

Brick by Brick – Building the Inverted Pyramid”  by Libby Bender

Like writing a strong lead, developing a strong brand is not easy. The brand starts inside the company, and is based in truth. Your role as a professional, then, is to properly express it through communications. You must be aware of every choice you make. Who, What, When, Where, Why and How is critically important.

In this special IABC presentation, we’ll talk about how to build your inverted brand pyramid, brick by brick.
