Launching Aug. 13, 1 pm ET, these new practical monthly virtual education programs bring together organizational practitioners and expert solution providers to discuss process design and measurement in key areas of sales and non-sales employee, distribution partner, and customer engagement, followed by the stories of featured brands; the essence of their success, and how organizations can use those brand stories to better tell their own through incentive, recognition, loyalty, event, surprise and delight promotions and corporate amenities and experiences.

People power brands, and brands power people. That’s the theme of new Enterprise Engagement Alliance monthly two-part zoom shows on practical process design and brand media, launching Aug. 13 at 1 pm ET. Sponsored by the Brand Media Coalition at
BrandMediaCoalition.com, these are part of a new
Enterprise Engagement Alliance series of learning sessions and dialog with experts focused both on the C-suite and tactical practitioners of internal and external engagement efforts across the enterprise.
Based on the need for virtual and on-demand learning in program design and brand media, the shows are hosted and moderated by Enterprise Engagement Alliance and Brand Media Coalition founder
Bruce Bolger;
Allan Schweyer, EEA Academic Advisor, and Chief Academic Advisor to the Incentive Research Foundation;
Barb Hendrickson, President, Visible Communications LLC and co-author of the Incentive Marketing Association’s Principles of Results-Based Incentive Program Design; and
Todd Hanson, President, Catalyst Performance Group, a leading Business Operating System and ROI of Engagement certified expert.
Expert Panels Address Practical Program Design Issues
Each month, based on the topic, guest expert panelists include corporate practitioners, solution providers, and academics. See below for the preliminary schedule of topics and speakers. Topics include key types of engagement strategies for sales and non-sales employees; customers; distribution and supply chain partners, communities, volunteers, or any stakeholder. The last portion of each program will share the stories of three well-known brands; what made them succeed, and how organizations can use those stories in their own gifting and promotions.
Insights to Help Improve ROI and Enhance Brand Experiences
Provide both end-user and solution-provider attendees useful information they can apply to:
• Enhance process design, brand story-telling, and program results to engage sales and non-sales employees, customers, distribution and supply chain partners, communities, volunteers, constituents and more, through effective process design and measurement.
• Learn about the story-telling and lesson-learning power of Brand Media and how to incorporate these brands stories into practical and measurable engagement efforts.
