“Your brand is what people say about you when you aren’t in the room.” This very personal, very human definition is what Kary Delaria uses to guide her brand building online and off. As the Social Media Manager at Allianz, she spends her time navigating the engaging yet challenging waters of digital marketing in a regulated industry. This week, she took some time to talk to us about brand ambassadors, compliance, and more on the On Brand podcast.
