StrawberryFrog’s Scott Goodson, co-author of Activate Brand Purpose: How to Harness the Power of Movements to Transform Your Company, looks at how companies can navigate this space in a meaningful way that won’t ring hollow.

In this session, Irving and Ethnicity Matters’s Bobby Sahni discuss how brands are investing in authentic marketing that doesn’t cut corners and which isn’t just an add-on.
