The Perfect Storm at Emerson - Driving Differentiation
The journey from rebranding to global leadership
In 2000, Kathy Button Bell led a corporate branding makeover at Emerson, including the first corporate logo change in more than 30 years. That was followed by the company’s first-ever global advertising campaign, first targeted television commercials and a marketing campaign under the “It’s Never Been Done Before” banner.
Now, the story gets really exciting
At BMA Colorado’s January keynote event, we’ll learn about the strategies and results of Emerson’s marketing innovations. Kathy will share how marketing collaborated with engineering and design, IT and sales to achieve global distinction.
In this fascinating business success story, Kathy Button Bell will entertain and educate us on:
- Reinforcing brand through social media
- Bridging the functions of marketing and sales
- Leveraging product design and description language
- Using innovative QR codes
