Speaker: John Moore | Brand Autopsy
John Moore believes passion and a sense of purpose fuel successful brand messages, whether delivered via a product, a service, or an experience. His background includes a decade working deep inside the marketing departments at Starbucks Coffee and Whole Foods Market. Today, John operates the Brand Autopsy Marketing Practice, a consultancy helping businesses focus on marketing with authentic passion. John is also the author of two business books: TRIBAL KNOWLEDGE, a business management book, and TOUGH LOVE, a business book masquerading as a screenplay.
Topic: Business Success through Everyday Innovation
Innovation is daunting for most businesses. The elusive search for the ONE BIG IDEA to drive continuous growth puts businesses on a never-ending journey to predict the future. John dispels this belief by explaining how being visionary is not predicting the future, but rather, reacting to the present. Drawing from his marketing experience at Starbucks Coffee and Whole Foods Market, John shows how a steady stream of small, everyday ideas result in lasting business success.
