    Renovate Your Brand to Ignite Growth
    A panel of CMOs will take founders through the process of brand renovation as a method to dig out product weaknesses and focus on strength. More than just sending your labels out to an agency, a brand renovation strips products down to their core consumers and rebuilds them around their true purpose. Whether it’s a way to help a brand take its next step toward growth, a way of bringing life back to dated set of products, or a method for taking companies toward a final exit, our panel of CMOs will show entrepreneurs how to find the best bones of their brands and help make them the best positioned products on the shelf.
