Busted Myths:
Marketing is often the first funding that gets cut during a financial crisis. However, the purpose of marketing is to help and drive revenue.
Marketing is more than a “make things pretty” center. It is a strategic part of the organization in making decisions for all the internal and external stakeholders.
Marketing does not own the brand. It belongs to and is shaped by the company, employees, customers, and the community.  Marketing communicates the values of the brand.
Company culture branding is a tremendous opportunity in terms of defining it, sharing that authentic culture, and turning it into action.
Authenticity is key to keeping your audience’s trust.
