In their new book Brands With a Conscience, the international branding think tank Medinge Group promote the need for conscious brands. During their first visit in Copenhagen, Medinge Group and Stagis co-hosted a branding conference at Copenhagen Business School where the participants learned more about the new international brand agenda.
During the conference, participants learned about some of the cases from the book when Simon Paterson and Nicholas Ind from Medinge Group presented successful cases on conscious brands. We also learned how Velux manages their brand during a time with increased demands for responsibility and how the dutch chocholate brand Tony’s Chocolonely has applied an alternative approach to creating a brand that is more humane and conscious.
We are very pleased that Copenhagen Business School was committed to hosting this event, and especially send a big thanks to Professor Mogens Bjerre who gave an inspiring presentation on the evolution of the branding discipline.
