• We are all doing more with less.
• We tend to function within our own departments:
⁻ Speaking different languages
⁻ With different agendas
⁻ And even different processes!
⁻ Often times there is little appreciation for
each other’s roles and capabilities in aligning
the external and internal brand.

strategy.

The best offense in a competitive market

What Can Marketing Do for HR?
• Collaborate
• Develop and sustain an
employment brand strategy
• Develop clear and attractive
messaging
• Supported by strong and
lively values

16.
The challenge of an employer is not to train human
resources in branding but to attempt a rare
unification between marketing and human
resources. Organizations that can unite these two
departments behind the power of brand will win the
war of better talent.
