meet and exchange ideas and also a forum to discuss the latest marketing
trends," said Annual Conference Chair and Vice Chairman of CIM Sri
Lanka, Brian Selvanayagam. "This year, we have an exciting program with
our keynote speakers Al and Laura Ries who will challenge conventional
thinking and encourage our professionals to start thinking outside the
box."
Branding guru and positioning expert, Al Ries and his daughter,
Laura, with combined experience of over 18 years, the Ries team have
acted as consultants for top corporations such as Microsoft, Ford,
Disney, Merck and Frito-Lay.The authors have been profiled by Business
Week, Marketing News, Advertising Age, The Wall Street Journal, Atlanta
Journal Constitution, and countless other publications.
Al Ries first caught the world's attention when he authored a series
of three articles on a revolutionary new concept.
This concept was so popular that it was voted one of the 75 most
important ideas in 75 years, according to Ad Age. This was followed by a
book,'Positioning' in 1981, which sold over a million copies. Al and
Laura continue to challenge convention through their work. |
