New Session Added: Mike Kitz, Vice-President - OfficeMax Brands, Product Development and Imports, OfficeMax

Retailer Driven Innovation and Branding

Mike will discuss how retailers are getting more sophisticated in creating and driving their own brands. And, in some cases, when manufacturers will not innovate for retailers’ brands, the retailers drive this innovation themselves. Attendees to this session will:

• See examples of OfficeMax using best-in-class processes to innovate, create new premium brands, and bring innovation to the marketplace.

• Discuss ways for manufacturers and retailers to collaborate in innovation and brand building.

See you in Chicago!

Cheers,
Private Label Impact
