Creating Powerful Waves of Advocates for Your Company’s Mission

Long gone are the days of companies relying on external marketing to drive customer sales. In today’s world, customers are demanding experiences that are relevant, transparent and consistent; and most of all, they want to be associated with brands that inspire them, feeling a part of something bigger than a clever marketing campaign, or the product or service itself.

In this webinar, you will get a ‘behind the curtain’ look at the compelling research project that uncovered the 25 Most Inspiring Companies® that has business buzzing and demanding to know more about the dramatic shift in power from ROI (Return on Investment) to RO-i ™ (Return on Inspiration).
