| 8:15 | TRANSFORMING BRAND EXPERIENCES: An IBM Case StudyDuring the past decade, experts in human thought and behavior have made great advances in understanding how people learn and form relationships. But many of their insights have not yet been incorporated into the mainstream of the experiences we create. In 2010, George P. Johnson—on behalf of IBM Corporation—challenged the ‘event experience’ status quo by tapping into the knowledge of such experts from a wide variety of fields. And in this session, we let you in on that journey and share select concepts and practice activation tips that help form the basis for a fundamental transformation of experience marketing.
