MINNEAPOLIS — (Aug. 18, 2008) — Stan Gadek, president and CEO of Sun Country Airlines, will be the Brand Matters featured speaker on Tuesday, Sept. 23 at 8 a.m. at the Carlson School’s 3M Auditorium, 321 19th Ave. S., Minneapolis.

In his presentation, “Making Brand Value in a Commodity Environment,” Gadek will discuss the importance of brand in an increasingly commoditized industry. From broad-based to personally-focused consumer touch points, Gadek will highlight why Sun Country Airlines has built its brand as the “Hometown Airline” and why this has positioned the airline for success in a turbulent industry.

Offered jointly by Yamamoto Moss Mackenzie, the Carlson School of Management, and Twin Cities Business, Brand Matters is a powerful speakers’ forum that provides tools and insights to help companies build their brands.
