Hi and we hope you and yours are well. We are thinking of you.
We have been having some great discussions with our clients and colleagues so we decided to start up a regular PSBX briefing to keep in touch and share what we are learning and working on. Welcome our to our June edition. Let me know what you think.
We are thinking a lot about the variety of “roles” that brands can serve. As we continue to navigate a world that is less certain than months before, some brands are seeing more relevance and many are not. Role and Utility are key themes we see in brands that continue to earn relevance today and tomorrow.
Finally, we were thrilled to present our 12th Ensemble series event at the end of May. The Future of Work was a great success in terms of content, but our team pivoted from a live experience format to a completely new model of a digital-first broadcast and content features. The response has been rewarding and inspiring - thank you. You can check it out via our case study below.
Thank you for taking the time to connect with us. If we can be of any support or assistance, please let me know. Of course, if you’d like to not receive our notes, please let me know and we’ll update accordingly.
Be safe and be well.
