Companies that fail to adapt can be undone by any one of these trends, but united they can put the most famous household names out of business.\r\n\r\n<strong>That’s why how you define, frame and share your brand story is your most important strategic business decision today. </strong>Here are just some of the reasons companies like Mattel, Coke, Walgreens, Chanel, Nestle, Starbucks, and more are sending teams to L.A for the 2013 Social Branding Seminar: \r\n\r\n<strong>1. Urgency</strong>:  Did you know the Meaningful Brands Index <strong>outperforms the stock market by 120%</strong>, or that 55% of consumers have boycotted a company in the last 12 months? See our <a href=\"http://simonmainwaring.com/future/marketing-3-0-the-rise-of-purpose-driven-social-brands-infographic/\" title=\"latest infographic\" target=\"_blank\">latest infographic</a>.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"http://www.wefirstbranding.com/seminar/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/We-First-Infographic-Thumbnail-Purpose-Driven-Social-Brands-300x264.png\" alt=\"We First Infographic Thumbnail Purpose Driven Social Brands\" width=\"300\" height=\"264\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-420\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>2. <a href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/inauthenticity-kills-brands\" title=\"Inauthenticity is the quickest way to kill your brand\" target=\"_blank\">Inauthenticity is the quickest way to kill your brand</a></strong>. An authentic alignment of a brand\'s mission, values and practices is the only way to survive the radical transparency now being imposed on companies. \r\n\r\n<strong>3. Internal & external synergy</strong>: Separating marketing from sustainability, and limiting sustainability to the environment, are two symptoms of leadership that has not recognized the larger role that customers expect business to play. See: <a href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/simonmainwaring/2013/07/08/cmo-vs-cso-8-steps-to-bridge-the-divide-that-could-undo-your-business/\" target=\"_blank\">CMO Vs. CSO: 8 Steps To Bridge The Divide That Could Undo Your Business</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>4. Meaning-driven marketing wins</strong>:  As Steve Job says <a href=\"http://simonmainwaring.com/future/what-steve-jobs-knew-about-the-importance-of-values-to-your-company/\" title=\"in this classic video\" target=\"_blank\">in this classic video</a> about how he turned around Apple: “Marketing is about values. It’s a complicated and noisy world, and we’re not going to get a chance to get people to remember much about us. No company is. So we have to be really clear about what we want them to know about us.”\r\n\r\n<strong>5. A rare chance to learn from the best</strong>. Have you ever wondered how charity: water became the first non-profit to have 1 million Twitter followers and gets 75% of its fundraising through digital channels? Or how Starbucks is able to be both an iconic global brand and expert local community builder? It’s an incredibly rare opportunity to hear <a href=\"http://www.wefirstbranding.com/seminar/speakers/\" title=\"global leaders\" target=\"_blank\">insights from global leaders</a> at Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Toyota, the UN Foundation and charity: water in an intimate setting and to ask questions about your toughest marketing problems.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"http://www.wefirstbranding.com/seminar/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Speakers-2013-new-290x300.png\" alt=\"Speakers 2013 new\" width=\"290\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-421\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>6. Value and Clarity</strong>: After most events you leave with a lots of notebooks and business cards but little time to transpose your learning to your business or brand. That’s why over the course of two days you will work through a <a href=\"http://www.wefirstbranding.com/seminar/program/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Social Branding Blueprint</strong></a> answering questions specific to your business so that you walk out with real value in your hand.\r\n\r\n<strong>7. Relationships</strong>: The event format has been specific designed to give you access to speakers and peers to start relationships that can lead to new business, partnerships and friendships. Here are just a few companies you’ll be joining: <strong>Nestle Purina PetCare, Mattel, Chanel, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Staffmark, FirstCapital Bank of Texas,  In-N-Out Burger, Thrive Farmers, the UN Foundation</strong> and more!\r\n\r\n<strong>8. Contribution</strong>: Every attendee gets to invite their favorite non-profit for free giving them a direct experience in contribution to a cause they care about. The alignment of business and the non-profit sector really has the power to change the world.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"http://www.wefirstbranding.com/seminar/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/breakout-group-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"breakout group 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-422\" />','Why Come?','','inherit','open','open','','419-revision-7','','','2013-09-20 22:43:07','2013-09-20 22:43:07','',419,'http://www.wefirstbranding.com/seminar/419-revision-7/',0,'revision','',0),(434,3,'2013-09-04 23:45:31','2013-09-04 23:45:31','<!--raw-->\r\n<h2>A Venue that Embodies the We First Philosophy</h2>\r\n<img src=\"http://www.wefirstbranding.com/seminar/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/photo-venue-w-hotel.jpg\" alt=\"photo-venue-w-hotel\" width=\"545\" height=\"309\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26\" />\r\n\r\n<p>We\'re excited to host the We First 2013 Seminar at the beautiful boutique <a href=\"http://www.whollywoodhotel.com/\" target=\"_blank\">W Hollywood hotel</a>.
