BIC welcomes StrawberryFrog's Founder and Chairman Scott Goodson for "Brand Purpose," the first @BIC Lecture in our Fall 2020 LEAD IN Series. Scott will expand on his recent Inc. Magazine article, "How does your brand purpose stand up?" which introduces the Purpose Power Index, the world's first empirical study of purpose-based brands with 17,500 responses. Partnering with well-regarded research firm the RepTrak Company, Scott's team at StrawberryFrog has cracked the code on how to measure brand purpose -- finding that purpose does indeed matter to the public, clearly driving behavioral intent.

Fast Company has recognized this as one of the biggest ideas in the world for 2020.
