PO-2 HR × Marketing: Rethinking Talent Strategy
The field of human resources holds immense untapped potential as a new frontier for marketing. At its core, marketing is the art of entering the world of others—namely, customers—and, through understanding that world, proposing a happier future. Today, the wealth of experience accumulated through working with "people" has the power to open up groundbreaking possibilities. By multiplying marketing intelligence with foundational HR knowledge, we can carve out new perspectives for talent recruitment, development, and training—areas that have become increasingly challenging in recent years.
In this session, we welcome three pioneering practitioners who have actively ventured into the intersection of HR and marketing. Sharing firsthand stories of their ongoing trials, successes, and hard-earned lessons, they will outline the true potential of this synergy. This session will deliver practical, living insights and actionable tips on how to exercise leadership as a marketer.
It is designed for:
-Professionals seeking new application areas for marketing
-Marketers aiming to venture into different domains
-Change-makers already driving cross-functional initiatives in other fields
