BRITE '10 is right around the corner: March 31–April 1 in NYC at Columbia University. Will you be there?I will and I can't wait. I consider BRITE thought-provoking and particularly relevant given its intense focus on branding, innovation and technology. As with my Columbia Business School experience, BRITE recharges me intellectually and offers a one-of-a-kind strategic opportunity to observe and appreciate the changing technology landscape and how it relates to marketing.
In fact, the first iteration of BRITE back in 2006 is what set me onto the digital and social media marketing path with Flooring The Consumer...

Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update on BRITE '10. I attended BRITE '08 and the speaker lineup was fantastic! I most enjoyed hearing from Stephen Voltz from Eepybird.com, also known as the creator of the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment video. It was after hearing him speak I quickly realized how important viral marketing had become. This year’s agenda looks great so far and I hope to see you there.
