BrandFinance® London Banking Forum 2012

01 February 2012, 08:30–17:00 UK Time

Part of the BrandFinance® Global Banking Forums 2012

London - Dubai - Singapore - New York


Theme: Bank Brands: What really matters; Country of origin, product innovation or customer service?

As the criticism of bankers by the general public and media continues, those institutions who survive the current economic crisis will be forced to redefine and re-evaluate their strategies to succeed in a new global market.

Whilst some banks have floundered others have flourished. Should institutions take heed of the actions by expanding overseas to avoid the current economic climate? Or should they be more creative with their product innovation and improve the role of their customer service? 

The Brand Finance Banking Forum will address the emerging financial services companies analysing the impact on an industry in crisis. We will hear views and perspective from banks executives regarding issues around the impact of Country of Origin, Product innovation and Customer service on the brand and marketing strategy. Through a panel session, we will discuss how bank brands can differentiate themselves to succeed.

Who Should Attend

CEOs, CMOs, CFOs and senior managers of corporate brands.

Leveraging your bank's brand identity and behaviour in times of change

A VI360 and Uffindell workshop

Bank brands face a time of unprecedented challenges and opportunities - explosive growth in Asia and a period of ongoing economic difficulty in the West. Bank brands and their managers must confront numerous strategic challenges including acquisition, collapse, take over, partnership, alliance, legislation, de-mergers, new market entry as well as the need to preserve an increasingly slender competitive advantage in mature markets that are facing a medium term future of limited growth.

Our workshop will explore how your brand can be leveraged to ensure your business thrives in these times of disruption. We will explore key themes from both the point of view of leveraging your brand identity and equity as well as your ability to deliver a differentiated brand experience to ultimately drive affinity, loyalty and customer advocacy. We will look at global case studies from across the spectrum of retail and wholesale financial institutions and inspiring examples from some of the world's leading brands in other industries. We will also share some recent thinking and a research methodology called BrandLove to help you more accurately assess customer affinity.

 

Who should attend?

Who should attend? Communication and strategy directors, brand managers; those responsible for managing the overall brand experience and visual brand identities for international and national banks. We expect an open and spirited debate and urge all attendees to share their perspectives.
