Brand Camp ’09 Workshop: The Rise of the Brandividual in Corporate Culture – @ScottMonty

scottmonty_hs_WEB3_FINAL33Brand Camp ’09 Workshop Description: Scott Monty, Global Digital Communications Manager – Ford Motor Company

It wasn’t that long ago that 30-year careers at a single company were the norm. Today, with fluctuations in the marketplace and corporate stability more questionable than ever, the notion of the company taking care of the individual is but a faint memory. At the same time, we’ve been the recipients of a gift in the way of technology that creates publishers, journalists, pundits and thought leaders of out anyone who puts their mind to it.

This session will explore the notion that the individual and the brand are merging and will raise a number of complex questions:
- In the process of this movement of so-called “personal branding,” how does one begin to balance the personal and professional?
- Where is the line drawn, or does such a line no longer exist?
- What are some key behaviors in a brand representative, and how can those be applied to your business?
- As the brandividual becomes more well known, is the company the greater beneficiary, or is the individual?
- What happens when this person decides to leave the company?

To hear this session, register for Brand Camp ’09.  You won’t want to miss Scott.
