Green Brand Leadership
North America and Europe are in a state of innovation stagnation. Climate change has become a negative, highly political issue. And green brands have failed to deliver the goods. So how does a leader navigate this chaos to build a strong brand? How does he break through to consumers who are cycnical, indifferent and scared? How does he justify the risk of incorporating green into his brand? Stoiber explores the state of green innovation, how to find ‘green space’ for a brand to succeed in, and how to break through to an indifferent consumer.
