Case Study: How to Break Through a Sea of Sameness
Date/Time: 11:00 AM As individuals we’re taught to be self-aware. It’s equally important to apply this to our brands. For many brands this process begins with research. Data is everywhere and easy to acquire, but using it to drive growth and return on investment can feel out of reach. In this session, Leah Chandler of Discover Puerto Rico, will share how she is navigating through a sea of data noise to identify Puerto Rico’s perception issues and preparing for a remarkable takeover story.
