Why brands matter in building a relationship

Jorge Labadie is fascinated by the interaction between brands and people: how do brands get people on their feet and how to make use of growth opportunities? He enjoys sharing with you his knowledge, experience and vision on this brand – people interaction by relating it to our business.

His company, 37ºCelsius, developed an innovative brand analysis tool ProBAR, which determines the strengths and weaknesses of brands. Sony Benelux, Unilever Bestfoods and SRA are some of the brands who use ProBAR to improve their brand performance.

Jorge presented this concept to INAA members and gave an interactive workshop where all participants could work on real case and assess their brands.
