SUMMARY:Steering Your Brand Through Social and Political Turbulence
DESCRIPTION:A panel discussion with local experts\, hosted by AMA and AAF Pittsburgh. \nWhether your organization has a social mission or not\, there are strong connections between brand strategy and what is happening in the world right now.
