On Fri., Sept. 10, at Digital Summit Washington, D.C. 2021, GMG CEO Leah Nurik will present, “Telling Authentic Stories in an Age of Distrust,” a 30-minute, TED-style talk that will reveal the keys to rebuilding trust and conveying authenticity in marketing communications.

As fake news, security breaches and corporate scandals have led to a rapid, mass erosion of trust in businesses, NGOs, government and mass media, Leah will explain tactics that can be implemented to create an authentic approach that resonates with existing and potential new customers and makes positive impacts on corporate culture, employee engagement and even recruiting. The session is designed for digital marketers who have several years’ experience with strategic marketing campaigns and who want to understand how marketing communications can convey greater transparency, commitment and engagement.
