At the "First International Strategy Slam", the German-speaking marketing scene will experience the first competition focused entirely on brand planning.
Following the example of poetry and science slams, lateral thinkers from companies and agencies compete to present their brand strategies to an audience.
The loudest applause will be awarded with the Strategy Slam Award. Form and means are free.
The main thing is that it doesn't take longer than 9 minutes.
