Dan Harley, Head of Brand Strategy & Insights, Vanguard

FCS Philadelphia is excited to invite you to join us for a special “Cocktails with Content” event featuring a fireside chat with our guest speaker Dan Harley, Head of Brand Strategy & Insights, at Vanguard. On Tuesday, June 23, we’ll return to the spectacular Union League Liberty Hill. Dan will be interviewed by Dennis Egen, Founder & President of Engine Room, a Philly-based digital solutions agency.

Dan joined Vanguard in 2010, and over his tenure his responsibilities have ranged from B2C to B2B2C as he has worked on marketing, communications, product, and client experience at one of the most influential brands in investing. For fellow financial marketers, Dan offers a valuable perspective on how brand, data, client behavior, and organizational change come together inside a category-defining financial institution.
