Details

How can you cut through the content jungle and understand what branded content is and how to optimise it within your overall marketing communications? How can you apply this enhanced knowledge and add value to your brand? It’s a hot, but little understood topic. We have researched it from your viewpoint, and come up with some fascinating insights that we would like to share and discuss with you.

The Brand Strategy Research Group at Oxford Brookes University is delighted to invite you to participate in our 5th Brand Strategy Round Table. This time it is a special collaborative event. Together with the Branded Content Marketing Association (BCMA) and the market research organisation Ipsos MORI we will present the latest findings of our ground-breaking collaborative research project on the marketing industry’s views on branded content.

We will illustrate some of the insights which make branded content so unique and powerful in the market place. These insights as well as our open discussion should help you to develop better branded content and content marketing strategies for your own organisation. As additional benefits, you will have the opportunity to network with peers, industry experts and academia and also register for a complimentary copy of our new branded content research report.
