Masterclass: Building transformative brands that inspire action and drives business

In this hands-on masterclass Thomas Kolster, a.k.a. Mr. Goodvertising, shows how to build an authentic, people-first brand. It's not about making people believe in your brand's purpose, but rather making them believe in themselves and their ability to bring about change. The masterclass will provide you with the Arrow-model to create a real brand transformation as well as tools to create relevance and avoid purpose-washing. The latter part of the workshop will focus on how to empower people across the marketing mix with Kolster’s proprietary tool The Wheel. This masterclass is for everyone working in advertising and branding curious about how to create meaningful brands and the activation that follows.
