Pure Branding's Kevin Williams speaks on 'Toxic Anxiety' at Organic Summit
Posted on Mon, Aug 30, 2010
Northampton, MA — Kevin Williams, principal brand strategist for Pure Branding, a leading consultancy dedicated to Conscious Branding, will speak at The Organic Summit in Boston, a forum for thought leadership in the organic product industry.
Recognized as an industry leader in organic branding, Williams will discuss the thought-provoking topic of “toxic anxiety” — what is it, how does it affect consumer behavior, and most importantly, what are the opportunities for organic? “Ours is a culture of cognitive shorthand and mental shortcuts,” says Williams. “When a complex idea like organic is reduced to a simple sound bite, what does it really represent to mainstream consumers?”
With more than two decades of experience in consumer products branding, Williams has created authentic brand strategies for global brands that include Pepperidge Farm, Colgate, Late July, Organic India, Gaia Herbs, and Aura Cacia.
Kevin Williams will be participating in the panel discussion “Communicating the Value of Organic in the Context of Health and Wellness,” co-located with the Natural Products Expo East, on Wednesday, October 13, from 1:00 to 2:10 p.m. at the Seaport Hotel, Boston.
