I was recently invited by Google to co-keynote a summit on higher education marketing at their headquarters in Mountain View. My presentation focused on “the 10 new rules of branding” which highlight the importance of things like customer service, social media and authenticity when it comes to marketing and creating great brands.

I had an amazing time with the Google team. While not my first adventure at their HQ, I always enjoy my visits and the hospitality of all the employees I encounter.

It’s truly remarkable that this company didn’t exist 15 years ago – and how far it’s come since then.

Google has redefined employee benefits, and business partner hospitality. If you haven’t had the opportunity to visit their HQ in Mountain View, CA, I encourage you to schedule a visit sometime soon.
