Back by popular demand, Joel Makower to present green marketing strategies during Good And Green™-The Green Marketing Conference
Hartford, Conn. – July 15, 2008 –"As sustainability has gone from a movement to a market, there's a need for dramatic shifts in business strategies in addressing today's consumers,” says Joel Makower, executive editor, GreenBiz.com and author of the forthcoming book Strategies for the Green Economy. Makower will discuss those dramatic shifts during his keynote presentation at Good And Green™-The Green Marketing Conference, December 3-4, 2008, Chicago Cultural Center.
“It's no longer enough to have a cool product and a smart slogan. Companies need to both educate and engage consumers to help them down the sustainability path,” continues Makower. “Good and Green™ is the preeminent event for learning how, and how not, to build brand awareness in the growing green economy."
Dubbed the “guru of green business practices” by the Associated Press, Makower received the You Take The Cake award for favorite presenter during last year’s Good And Green™ event. “Sponsors, presenters and attendees all wanted Joel Makower back on the Good And Green™ stage,” says Nan McCann, president of PME® Enterprises, LLC which produces the conference. “His thought-provoking presentations inspire brand leaders to take their green business initiatives to the next level.”
In addition to hearing Makower’s insights, attendees will receive a copy of his new book. “We are thrilled to be able to give our audience members such a valuable resource,” says McCann. “Joel’s new book, Strategies for the Green Economy, will undoubtedly become a vital part of every company’s business library.”
