Icons in the Making

How do you transform an 87-year-old financial institution into a modern brand? Through grit and vision—both which come to life in Morgan Stanley’s new, buzz-worthy campaign. At the helm of this evolution is Alice Milligan, Chief Marketing Officer of Morgan Stanley.

In this powerful conversation, Alice shares how she’s challenging what it means to be a modern bank while staying authentic to the brand, how she engages employees to be the brand’s best advocates, why you should own what makes you different, and more.
