Could there be a larger or more earth-moving event that affects the entirety of a brand’s consumer base than a pandemic?
The pandemic has brought lasting change to the lives of consumers and the financial services institutions who serve them. Some financial services brands have re-invented themselves and re-launched their brands.
However amid volatility and uncertainty, we have seen that innovation and bravery is the key to a successful mid-pandemic repositioning or rebrand. In this session we will hear the merits and challenges of repositioning or rebranding.

Most will now agree that the newest ‘P’ in marketing is ‘Purpose’.
Since the start of the pandemic, most organisations have claimed or “rediscovered” their purpose, but what impact has this had on their brand strategy?
In this panel discussion we will explore:
- The reputational risks of claiming a purpose
- If all brands are purpose-led, how should they differentiate?
- How far should brands demonstrate their purpose?
- What are the pitfalls of jumping on the purpose bandwagon?
- What will the differentiators of brand strategy be as we progress into the 2020s? Will purpose remain?
- What is the role of a brand in the 2020s?
