Defining and projecting a distinctive international narrative for your university.
This IC Café will explore how universities around the world are creating innovative ways of defining and presenting their standout strengths and messages, especially when it comes to capturing a unifying purpose and a sense of distinctive global mission and impact.
In particular, you will hear several interesting examples of global narratives and international brand-building approaches, including one award-winning global brand proposition and campaign (drawn from Monash University).
During the IC Cafe we will also address methods for measuring and monitoring the impact of international brand and reputation resonance – and highlight The IC Global’s own International Influencer Index as a distinctive approach.
Invite your Heads and Directors and institutional colleagues to benefit from the expertise and experience of our speakers.
Date: Tuesday 3 October 2023
Time: 11am (UK time)
