In this episode, I talk with Marc Cloosterman, CEO of the VIM Group on how to Future Proof Your Brand, his first book.

So how can you make sure your brand is future proof?

Marc Cloosterman and his colleague Laurens Hoekstra from the VIM Group wrote a brand new book on exactly that topic. During the podcast, Marc covers several steps on how organisations can and should manage their top asset – their brand.

We cover new technologies such as 5G, AI/ML: artificial intelligence and machine learning, IoT: Internet of Things, VR/AR/MR: virtual, augmented, and mixed reality and their impact on brand management.

Marc also walks us through Brand Performance strategies, how to change brands and retain or increase ROI and much more.
