Opening remarks by Shamsuddin Jasani, Group MD, Isobar South Asia, Isobar India 

Wally Brill and Arpita Kumar from Google's Assistant: What does your brand sound like?

As more and more people integrate the Google Assistant into their lives to help them get things done, they quickly develop direct relationships with the personality of the Assistant and with the personalities of the brands they interact with. This creates a golden opportunity for brand extension and positive reinforcement of brand attributes that shouldn't be missed.
