COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP in the Face of a Short-term World
with Steve Wilhite

     |
|
Are you a courageous leader? How so? How do you balance the primacy of strategy and a core creative idea with the
dynamic role of media in marketing communications?
Steve Wilhite is a business leader, brand
evangelist, and creative champion when it comes to marketing courage but
he has a chip on his shoulder. Steve Wilhite expects marketing
greatness and is disappointed with the current state of marketing
performance. At our April 13 event, Steve will
challenge us to think about our businesses from a brave perspective, to
ask gutsy questions, and to search creatively for better ways to connect
with prospective customers. He’ll draw on current issues, big
investments, and his personal experiences in leading some of the world’s
most iconic brands. This is intended as a hands-on, participatory
event that will provoke and inspire discussion. It's not for the timid
or fearful. Be prepared to actively engage and challenge.
