Brand Leaders Forum
The Center has launched its exclusive Brand Leaders Forum to bring together top executives from a wide range of industries to discuss best practices and uncover new insights into what it takes to build great brands.
Launched in September 2010, the Forum now meets bi-annually to provide:
- Networking among all its members so that they can continue to succeed in building and maintaining strong brands for their organization.
- Access to leading research, best practices, and thought leadership from the Center on Brand Leadership; from other Columbia Business School professors; and from other innovators, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders on brands and marketing.
- The opportunity to pose questions, share best practices, and gain insights on branding and marketing--in a non-competitive environment--from fellow Forum members who work within a range of industry categories.
We would like to thank our Forum members and companies for their gracious support.
