Overview

How does the world brand itself? The GeoSpotlight will shine on unique campaigns, initiatives and branding programs looking to influence perceptions of Countries, Cities, Regions and even ingredients that rely on the brand influence of the country of origin. Each month, the GeoSpotlight will take aim at a new subject, highlighting campaigns and programs that are looking to differentiate and elevate.  If you would like to have your brand featured in the GeoSpotlight, contact Liz Miller at lmiller@cmocouncil.org to learn how.

In today’s world, Greece needs to streamline its profile clearly. But, what should that profile be? Which values should it be based on? What’s the “Greek” identity? What should “Made in Greece” mean?
