Bill West on “The Thick Stench of Marketing… and How to Cut Through it”

Event Details

Join us August 10th to have a discussion with Bill West, owner and lead eyebrow-raiser of Bareknuckle Brand Marketing. Bill will lead a discussion rich with horror stories and truth-telling examples of what not to do with your business’s marketing efforts. Also, he’ll share a demystifying approach to branding and marketing that brings serious punch to businesses large and small (yes, medium too).

West will cover …

  • The intersection between strategy and creative as they play in marketing and business overall.

  • The distinction between branding and marketing, and how they wildly influence each other.

  • Why the world hates marketing, namely marketing agencies.

  • Off-the-cuff answers to participants’ intriguing questions!

About Bill West

Owner and lead eyebrow-raiser of Bareknuckle Brand Marketing, Bill pulls from his background as a speech writer, ghostwriter and university writing instructor to help entrepreneurs develop a rich, compelling, articulate brand and customer-seducing marketing.

His work has been featured in media sources such as the New York Times, CNBC and Fox News; across financial websites such as e-trade; and on the back of vodka bottles.
