Neil Harrison, head of employer branding and insight, TMP Worldwide
Harrison’s talk is titled: “The digital activation of the employer brand”.

Today, we are living through an era where activation is key, routed in personalised, mobilised and socialised experiences.

Strange will discuss the multi-brand challenges of engagement and alignment within Lloyds; reputation issues in the financial sector as a whole; and how the bank is encouraging behaviours by relationship brand and group alignment.
