Milwaukee Press Club event to explore city branding

A group of Milwaukee-area journalists and executives will discuss the need to enhance the city’s branding efforts at a Sept. 25 “Behind the Headlines” luncheon presented by the Milwaukee Press Club.

The luncheon, part of an ongoing series headed by the press club, will explore current initiatives that are helping raise Milwaukee’s identity on a national level and will also look at what needs to be done in order to further elevate its brand across the country and world.

The bigger picture of the event will focus on how branding can draw more attention to greater Milwaukee’s image as well as stimulate tourism and economic development.
