Overview

Lunch and Learn event featuring guest speaker Casey Harrison of Polished Strategic Communications. Food included with registration.

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

Marketing teams have more tools than ever to create content, reach audiences, and measure attention. But attention alone doesn't create trust, and more content doesn't necessarily create stronger brands.

In this session, Casey Harrison, President & CEO of Polished Strategic Communications, will explore what happens when organizations stop treating PR, marketing, social media, partnerships, and thought leadership as separate tactics and begin using them as an integrated credibility-building system.

Attendees will learn how to move audiences from awareness to understanding, credibility, trust, action, and advocacy—and how to identify which communication tools actually belong at each stage.
