On-stage sessions will include in-depth discussions uncovering how generative AI is changing marketing and what marketers do; how brands and marketers should navigate the cookie-less future; how brands can make the most of the opportunities that exist in the growing retail media space; how organizations can incorporate sustainability into their business and marketing strategies so it doesn’t feel like an add-on to your consumers and what the future of marketing holds for us all.
Sharing insights alongside VaynerMedia founder Gary Vee will be Melissa Hobley, global CMO at Tinder; Laila Mignoni, global vice-president of creative at Bacardi; Jonnie Cahill, CMO at Heineken USA; Dorothy Ann Advincula, global lead of measurement and insights at Uber Advertising, Laurence Newall, managing director for the Americas at Brand Finance and Carmela Fournier, VP & general manager of data at Comcast Advertising, with more expert speakers to be announced in the weeks ahead.
