Registration is now open for the free Missouri S&T Brand Symposium to be held Sept. 8 in the Havener Center. With more than 10 sessions, the local event offers many opportunities for students, faculty and staff to learn more about the university’s brand, become more involved as a brand ambassador for the campus, talk with colleagues from across campus, and get some expert help and advice on some of your tough marketing and communications challenges. During a lunch keynote, Stefan Mumaw, director of creative strategy at Hint, will lay out the structure of story and use real-world examples to show how each story component is used to build an emotional bridge between brand and consumer.
