Brand-proofing for tech cynical times

Hosted by Antidote Communications

As an industry we’re well aware that tech is a force for good, and even has the potential to solve some of the biggest challenges we face in the world today. 

However, with trust in big tech consistently low, electoral candidates advocating breaking them up and ever-complex regulation looming - it’s getting harder and harder to show the industry’s “good side”. 

Cynicism around its intentions is prevalent in every newspaper, on social media and in conversations happening outside the industry. At the same time, the good stories are getting lost in the noise. 

So, how can tech founders and marketers navigate these new tech-cynical times and highlight the honourable intentions and positive impact of their innovation? At the same time, how should we address the concerns that have been created by things like fake news and “techlash”?

Antidote Communications invites tech company founders, marketers and communicators to attend this panel event - hosted during Bristol Technology Festival - which will examine what perception challenges mean for your brand and what you can learn from key players in the industry and how they are addressing it.
