Modern brands are in the business of producing cultural hits through entertainment, merch, creative universes and experiences—replacing traditional marketing. Hitmaker brands command higher prices and stronger customer loyalty and control a greater market share while avoiding commodification. Success requires a strategy of cultural influence: creating, seeding and amplifying cultural products across different contexts to spark relevance. This talk will explore how brands shape culture, build influence and turn creativity into commercial impact.
In an era of uncertainty and a world on the brink of seismic change, leadership isn’t just about survival, it’s about shaping the future. Join Sherilyn Shackell, founder and global CEO of The Marketing Academy for a wake-up call to brands and creative leaders. In this fearless keynote, she’ll unpack what it takes to lead when the old playbook no longer applies, where hesitation is fatal and where only the bold will drive culture, creativity and business forward.
The UN Foundation’s David Ohana will be jetting in from the US for an inspiring keynote address sharing his unique insights into the power of global communications and marketing. He’ll also offer a peek behind the curtain of path-breaking global campaigns and discuss how organisations and individuals can drive positive change in a rapidly evolving world. Expect thought-provoking perspectives on aligning purpose with strategy and the challenges and opportunities of creating meaningful impact through global initiatives.
In a world where brands keep trying (and failing) to be ‘cool,’ Pinterest took a different route. By leaning into what really matters to Gen Z—authenticity, inclusivity, and utility—Pinterest found its sweet spot. And found itself again.
In this talk, Xanthe Wells offers a new playbook for going beyond “cool,” and for creating meaningful connections with your audience instead.
