Brand Convergence

You create financial value when you align employee experience and customer experience to shape brand perception. Actively develop a convergence to energize your brand for all, focusing on two distinct employee roles: ​

  1. Internal contributors. When brand marketing is done right, the brand guides an individual through candidacy, growth, advocacy, and transition.
  2. External ambassadors. To be effective ambassadors, employees must be steeped in the brand and deliver experiences that match the brand promise. ​
