Born this (brand building) way

Does an early commitment to brand-building pay back?

Following on from the IPA session on stage in Cannes, this free webinar features new research that outlines the benefits of investing in brand early, as well as a fireside chat with a brand that's done it - fashion reselling marketplace, Depop.

We know that brand building drives profit – the renowned IPA Databank has an abundance of evidence proving this. But… the wins are quicker when you lean on performance in the early days of a business.

So, how do you successfully make the 21st-century case for early brand-building? The IPA and Tracksuit have solutions based on real-world cases that will address:

  • How award-winning brands have used advertising to foster organic growth, hold their pricing and more.
  • The importance of brand alongside performance from day 1.
  • Why imagination matters.

The research will then be brought to life by 21stCenturyBrand and Depop, who will discuss the realities of using brand for growth as a start-up/scale-up.
