Before we go into the speaker- and eventdetails, we would like to introduce you to the values of the revamped "Vlerick Marketing Informeel", which was rebranded for the occasion.

"Four times a year you can plunge into The Marketing Shower to let a steaming hot marketing topic pour down on you. Each speaker throws in the towel after twenty minutes so you’ll quickly get showered with revitalizing stories."

Brands are like friends. They come and go, but truly great ones are hard to find, difficult to leave and impossible to forget. How would you feel if a friend would suddenly change his/her hairdo, style or even name. How would you feel if you couldn’t recognize your friends anymore? Rebranding is a high risk branding matter with losing friends involved.
