A practical guide to building owned channels that increase your brand's reach.

With paid and social channels underperforming, brands are now creating their own channels. In their mission to form the discussion not just participating, category leaders are publishing their own thought leadership magazines, and exploring new boundaries of content creation. They’re not just pushing their own brand’s thoughts, but by trying to improve the perception of their entire industry.

Done correctly companies are demonstrating their credibility and thereby generating trust with their audience and the media. In this talk Stefan will show the broad outline of the shift and give practical examples what the leading brands are doing and the effect of these efforts.

Stefan, CEO of pr.co, is the only known startup founder to have been sued by David Hasselhoff. When he is not creating stories of his own he can be found working on his core passion: guiding brands through the minefield of authenticity culture. He does this by advocating purpose driven storytelling, while providing the practical tools to really make them sing. Stefan believes that with the right company culture, tools and communication, trust can be restored between brands' and their audiences.
