A universally recognized brand is a powerful tool for the brand’s marketers, but it can also serve as a target — for unhappy users, for hackers, and for the competition.
When it comes to recognizable brands in B2B tech, Microsoft sits near the top of the heap. In this episode of B2B Nation, we talk to Sylvia Harn, global media director at Microsoft, about how her team plans to use the Microsoft brand and its muscle to help market new products in 2022. Microsoft recently announced news around a pair of cloud solutions at its Ignite conference, and brand power will be essential to its success.
