What people are saying about the event:

"Employer branding is finally getting the spotlight it deserves—as a strategic, gritty, and collective force for attracting and retaining talent.”
— ANNE HURLEY, Director, talent branding, NBCUniversal

"I had the pleasure of attending The New Employer Brand Summit today hosted by Charter and Welcome to the Jungle. In a sea of conferences and events that sometimes feel like a rinse and repeat of the one you attended last quarter, this one felt different…and refreshing.”
— Jacqueline Carow, North America agency director, Havas People

"It was energizing to be in a room where reporters and leaders alike were aligned on this truth: employer brand is not what we say—it’s what we show, and what employees share.”
— Jennifer Riedinger, Senior vice president, MWWPR
