    With hundreds of financial institutions across North America and similar product offerings rolling out every day, consumers find themselves choosing banking services with nothing more than a gut feeling about a particular brand. In a world where similar bank services are extremely ubiquitous, how can one bank compete with another for customers?

    The struggle for uniqueness comes with an economic downturn in 2008.  The credit crunch coupled with the wave of bank conglomerates will produce an environment in which branding executives will have to prioritize in order to keep their missions on track, their marketing budgets in line, and their customers confident.

    This premium marcus evans event will explore how to build brand strength through knowledgeable, executive-level speakers, and cutting-edge topics to stay ahead of the competition and increase sales revenues.

    Based on feedback from our Annual Brand Building Conference Series marcus evans decided to seize the opportunity of serving as a discussion catalyst by providing executives with a unique industry platform for insights. We are hosting an online gathering to allow knowledge and experience exchange between experts and leading industry professionals in an environment which is conducive to maximizing your networking opportunities in a new climate where the trends encompass both tough competition and increased willingness to learn from each other. For this purpose we created a special conference group on Linked In to ensure that you have the option of input into conference development and focus. We would be honored to have you join us. Membership is entirely complimentary for registered speakers and delegates. Here is the link to join: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=113129&trk=myg_ugrp_ovr
