C&W Business, who were also
gold sponsors of the event also used the opportunity to speak about
supporting the region during the hurricane season. In the
“Re-build & Recover” panel discussion at the Conference, Bailey
highlighted the resilience of the company’s network which was put
to the test during the most recent Category 5
Hurricanes. Our networks proved very resilient during the
passage of the storm, and at times we were the only network
operating in some of the impacted territories. In the panel
discussion on “Spicing up the Caribbean Brand”,
Regional Communications Manager, Sheldon Keens-Douglas identified
“three key areas that must form a part of any brand re-vitalization
discussion – “Differentiation, Innovation and Creation”.
Keens-Douglas who has also held Regional Marketing and Brand
positions within Cable & Wireless and was part of the team
responsible for rolling out the Company’s new consumer brand – Flow
– across the region in 2016 which involved the complex task of
retiring our legacy brands while simultaneously introducing a newly
refreshed brand that represented the combined corporate entities
across 14 markets.
The 2017 SOTIC was held under the theme
Super-charging the Brand: Meeting the Needs of the New
Explorers, and is the preeminent educational forum for
Caribbean hospitality and tourism professionals.
