(NEWARK, NJ) -- The President of Rosica Communications, Chris Rosica, was a featured speaker at Rutgers-Newark, addressing dozens of students from the university’s Marketing & Management Society meeting. Rosica shared insights on authenticity and how it impacts storytelling, crisis communications, cause marketing, positioning, and branding. All Society members received copies of Rosica’s first book, The Authentic Brand. In addition, he donated 100 copies of this timeless marketing book to Rutgers.

To write The Authentic Brand, Rosica interviewed 12 high-profile company founders including such iconic brands as Starbucks, Jet Blue, Ben & Jerry’s Homemade, Kate Spade, Famous Amos Cookies, and Burt’s Bees. He shared the recipes of their success – from the entrepreneurs’ perspectives. Rosica also discussed how authenticity transcends industries, providing a potent marketing and business advantage regardless of whether you are trying to build a nonprofit, education, healthcare, animal health, or consumer brand.

He then fielded questions from students on the topics of entrepreneurship, public relations, and college internships.

In addition to The Authentic Brand, he also wrote The Business of Cause Marketing and The Power of B2B Social Media. A popular keynote speaker, Rosica is a recognized thought leader in PR, digital marketing, online reputation management, cause marketing, and crisis communications.
