Iconic Brands: HSBC

Iconic Brands series presented by the Marketing & Media Committee

Join us to hear from HSBC’s Group Chief Marketing Officer, Leanne Cutts, the guardian of one of the world’s largest international banking – and Hong Kong’s home-grown – brands. Leanne brings global experience, steering brands across sectors and regions, to bear in this conversation with AustCham which will touch on:  

  • The importance for a brand to have creativity, innovation, and boldness
  • The potential and influence brands have on the future of Asia
  • An extraordinary career journey as an Australian woman, and someone from outside the banking industry, to taking on such an influential Marketing role

 

This event launches the Surviving COVID-19: Iconic Brand Series presented by the AustCham Marketing & Media Committee.

 

Icons are a true testament to resilience and durability; to consistency and reliability.   Consumers see brands as leaders and want them to play an active part in their lives. But that role is hard fought – hear from Media and Marketing Committee Chair and Head of Strategy at PHD Hong Kong, Imogen Bourke, as she discusses these issues with one of the world’s most influential marketers.
