OPMA is thrilled to welcome Leah MacMillan, Senior VP Global Marketing, Trend Micro, as our keynote speaker for February's Networking Event:

"The Artistry and Impact of Great Storytelling"

“If you build it, they will come,” is only true in Field of Dreams. Building the right product means nothing without a compelling, consistent story to promote it. Getting the narrative right can be an agonizing process, but if done right can have lasting and measurable effects. The organization will embrace it. Salespeople will repeat it. Market influencers will endorse it. And customers and prospects will feel like you are speaking directly to them. Leah's presentation will offer tips and guidance not only for creating memorable and meaningful messages for your product, service or company but also for getting the story out to market.
Join us for a delicious catered dinner, quality networking with like-minded product people, and leave with a greater appreciation for the importance of storytelling, and the inspiration to think of ways in which you can improve your own messaging and marketing mix.
