“Marketing is no longer about building a brand. There’s now a need for brand defense.” – Jonathan Copulsky, Brand Resilience

We can all name the most prominent brands. But today, brand management has as much to do with safeguarding as it does with building. Brand saboteurs are lurking around every corner – especially in the age of social media where news spreads like wildfire – and organizations need to manage risk, anticipate attacks, and bounce back fast after a hit.

How can you protect your brand? By playing active and consistent defense. That starts with understanding how susceptible your organization is to brand sabotage – and knowing how to reduce its likelihood and impact. In Brand Resilience, Copulsky uses real-world examples, including many from social media mishaps, to bring the challenges of defending brands to life. As important as defining the challenges, he also shares popular brand war stories and lessons learned that organizations should consider and adopt.

In this presentation, Copulsky will walk through his seven-step plan to brand resilience. This includes assessing your brand risks, detecting early warning signals, and adapting your defenses. To further bring his plan to life, Copulsky will also draw on the experiences of today’s most well-known brands. By building an organizational capacity to expect the unexpected and understanding your brand risks, you’ll be in a better position to head off trouble before it occurs – keeping you one step ahead of your potential saboteurs.
