Our PR, Marketing and BD Director David Standard has been featured in PM Forum, discussing how actions speak louder than words when building your employer brand.
David states that both human resources and marketing have a common purpose within a business and working together on an employer brand is a good meeting point. He looks at how to sell a service where essentially, people are buying people.
David notes, “We cannot create and promote an authentic external brand in professional services without it being genuinely believed and communicated by our greatest ambassadors: our employees.”
