“I’ve had the pleasure to work with John for 3.5 years. First, as a member of the marketing team responsible for one of the largest portfolios in Canada, and secondly as a member of the Commercial Leadership team, where John lead the On Premise and National Accounts portion of our business. John always displayed great thought leadership and a business acumen that allowed him to win vs the competition. John made an impact immediately with his driven attitude and new thinking and was able to get people and teams onboard immediately, specifically when it came to our sponsorship strategy and National Account/On Premise partners. As a team member or leader, John would be an asset to any team.”

What can you learn about brand strategy from attending networking events?
Live in-person interactions, like the kind you get at a Networking event are worth their weight in gold for real world human interactions and emotions. Value these above all else (vs online interactions, where the anonymity of the web often mask true motivations)

What can you learn about brand strategy from attending networking events?
Realize that those around you attending the same event may not be your target market - we often surround ourselves with like-minded friends, colleagues and sources of information; your target may be entirely different. Be self-aware of this and don't inform your decisions based on insights gleaned from the wrong target market. Or another way to think about it - confirmation bias. You may experience this - seeing what you want to see vs what you should be looking for.
