Masterclass overview
In just ten years, the everyday landscape has changed fundamentally and with it the way people interact with each other and with brands. Social media have emerged from their infancy – but when it comes to brands and businesses have we fundamentally changed our behavior? In today’s hyper-connected marketplace, it’s not about being ON social media, it’s about BEING social. But how to cut through the endless advertising clutter and avoid the fast-growing ad-blocking trend? A key factor: giving people the ability to truly appreciate your brand’s message, making them WANT to listen. The Brand Bank Account – a tool developed by Huib van Bockel – enables brands to discover their many di erent possibilities, to give value to people, so they make deposits instead of constant withdrawals.
