Why HR Needs to Think Like Marketers

Andrew Porter presented Diageo’s market leading approach to developing an employer brand that is just one element of an integrated corporate brand strategy - Brand Diageo.  He will bring to life the journey that Talent Engagement has been on over the last two years and the benefits of collaborating with LinkedIn to help amplify the employer brand through increasing the number of followers globally.
