Building a Brand from the Ground Up
Forming a vision and igniting support around it to build a brand that ignites a national response - A case study on America's Promise
Chairing a summit that brought national leaders from every sector together to focus on harnessing the power of youth citizenship was the easy part for General Colin L. Powell. Bringing life to the outgrowth organization, America's Promise, was the tough part. As Colin Powell's Chief of Staff, Colonel Smullen was charged with the task of helping hte General energize and rebrand a nation.
Hosted by the Canadian Public Relation's Society Calgary Chapter, Professor Smullen will lead a discussion on 'Building a Brand from the Ground Up' drawing on his experience working with General Powell to build a culture around the initiative while raising an army of committed volunteers dedicated to investing critical resources into the lives of at-risk youth.
With his tremendous experience in extremely high-profile and high-stakes issues management, Professor Smullen will reflect on the importance of having a vision and how a strong, articulated sense of common direction can form shared conscious and ignite a brand. In this case, a brand that helped shape the future of America.
