Anyone working within the financial services sector – or, indeed, anyone who reads a paper or watches the news – will be aware of the difficulties that this sector has faced over the last year or so.
How can companies within that sector rebuild their reputation and rebuild the trust that was once placed in them? What can companies from outside that sector learn from those companies who have gone through this experience?
Communicate Magazine have another very interesting conference scheduled for later this month on just this topic. They’re bringing together an intriguing slate of speakers from across the sector: from the International Centre for Financial Regulation; from Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Santander, ING, HSBC and Man Group; and from The Observer, BroadView and FinancialMarketing.
You can see the agenda and download a PDF here, but I can tell you that they’ll be covering topics such as:
- Is the relationship between the fourth estate and the banking community irretrievably broken?
- Were journalists just reporting a financial meltdown or were they exacerbating it?
- How to communicate change to an internal audience
- How to reposition your brand when people just want to talk about the past
- Getting the best out of your corporate messaging
As you can see, it’s not just relevant to the financial sector, though that will be the main focus; it looks as though corporate communicators from across the patch will find something to learn from the day.
