What happens when you get a collection of true thought leaders, entrepreneurs, storytellers, tweeters, visionaries and a world-class athlete in a single room? You get the Brand Camp ’09 experience: engaging conversations with like-minded people that inspire change and transform gray matter with each spoken word and each character of every tweet.
Why Detroit? Detroit is a blue collar, manufacturing town that was built on the back of the automotive industry which was the Silicon Valley of its day. The cheese has moved and Detroit is currently going through a brand crisis. It is the perfect location to discuss how social media, personal branding and passion is changing the way we work and live.

Brand 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.
