Utomi, who was the keynote speaker at the event, was quoted as saying that for brands to survive in a volatile economy, they must come under drivers that could bring creative destruction and the great disruption.

According to him, storytelling plays a vital role in brand building, most especially at this time. “The story you tell about your reality is what the world will believe about your reality,” he said.
