Sexy Chickens, CEO Gaffes, and Why Brands Suck at Handling Crises
Today on The Difference, we run down a list of five awful PR crises facing big brands and what executives can learn. From the funny and bizarre to the serious and tragic, Brain+Trust’s Christopher Barger and Unthinkable Media’s Jay Acunzo deconstruct these stories through the lens of leading a global business and addressing the underlying people, process, and technology issues — always in that order.
About the Show: The Difference is the show for big brand executives exploring one big question: In the digital age, why do some brands thrive while others struggle to survive? Each episode, the founders of Brain+Trust Partners tackle one big trend, technology, or change and explore the difference between succeeding and scuffling when trying to capitalize. Brain+Trust is an executive consultancy helping busy leaders make sense of customer behavior and data to drive results.
