BrandStorm Key Takeaways, Part 2: authenticity

AUSTIN, TX—An authentic message, and the right medium, is important now more than ever—especially in business to business marketing.

Some of the most engaging content I’ve seen lately in social media comes from people not afraid to “wear the leggings” for their company, grab a smartphone or a webcam, and get on video. If you’re on LinkedIn (and you should be! come follow me!), you know who they are.

How do you find, and nurture, your brand’s authentic message?
