BREAKING DOWN TO BUILD FORWARD
RETHINKING ENTRENCHED DYNAMICS
OF THE BRAND BUSINESS
It's time to break free from all of the old mantras of brand building. In an era of near-constant upheaval, what's working and what should we let go? Where do we push forward and where do we tear down.
At this year's foremost brand-strategy conference, Brandweek will convene the marketing leaders of today and tomorrow to drill down on the business of brands: the personalities, products, services and concepts that distinguish one company from another. We'll unpack case studies that examine the challenges, the opportunities and the value of brands and their force in driving communities of common values, cultural shifts, and, ultimately, business growth.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of the desert, you'll embark on a four-day journey of discovery that will equip you with the insights, inspiration and connections with industry and cultural power players to drive brand, personal and professional growth.
Brandweek is the most valuable brand marketing conference I've ever engaged in. I USE THE WORD "ENGAGED" AS IT WAS MORE THAN JUST ATTENDING. You have the opportunity to partake in meaningful conversations where everyone is passionate of what they do and it's a great opportunity to learn from one another. At a glance, taking a week out of your schedule may seem like a huge commitment, but Brandweek is worth it! I'm looking forward to attending next year and encouraging more of my team to join me.

IN FOCUS AT BRANDWEEK 2024
A marketer’s ultimate goal is having the narratives they create drive deep and authentic connections to the people on the receiving end: their customers and prospects. But stories that spur sales aren’t a pipe dream; crafting creativity that drive results shouldn’t be an oxymoron. Here’s what works—and what doesn’t.
Now more than ever, against forces and opportunities such as AI and the creator economy, marketers need the right talent, skills, organizational structure and partners to succeed. Busting silos, building inclusive teams, and going beyond typical marketing expertise might be required to realize winning within the new dynamics of the advertising and marketing practice. And understanding consumer and cultural trends and expectations that inform go-to-market strategy is paramount to creating engagement and storytelling and driving growth.
Marketers are bombarded daily with new iterations of data and tech that promise to solve all: gen AI, new online targeting tools, augmented reality. But how can marketers cut through the noise, navigate ethical and legal implications, and vet new entrants to ultimately yield real results? We’ll break it down.
Consumer buying habits continue to merge and morph, spurring marketers to respond deftly. Commerce can happen anywhere; everyone is an ad seller. Retailers like Walmart and TV manufacturers like Samsung are selling ads. Brands like Crocs and General Mills are aligning with musicians, athletes, and even other brands to position themselves in culture and sell to a new audience. We’ll explore the new dynamics and untapped opportunities and channels to deliver sales.
Creators have taken the industry by storm, showcasing their storytelling skills and human-centered creative prowess on social platforms that captivate wide swaths of consumers. It has become imperative for marketers to work with them in order to compete in an attention-fractured world. We’ll break down the who, what, where, why and how—at a time when TikTok’s future is uncertain.
The advent of streaming has forced marketers to reinvent their TV strategies. Even sports has gone from a linear play to increasingly being showcased online. Marketers have tremendous opportunities to build innovative, personalized campaigns — but also new challenges given the fragmented landscape. Unpack how to build throughlines that may start but don’t end with TV.
Optimal performance in the brand industry requires fuel for the mind, body, heart and soul.
People—and brands—that perform at their best have access to the knowledge, tools, trainers, tips and tricks to exercise the muscle behind some of the most impactful and dynamic marketing organizations, teams, campaigns, strategies and financial wins.
Brandweek Day 4 will dive into this concept of performance—in all the ways it matters.
Join us to celebrate the multifaceted nature of performance, where athleticism, leadership, and mental perception come together to shape the future of branding and spur both brands and individuals to new success.
Meet with tactical branding gurus, participate in group exercise classes, hear firsthand from some of the world’s elite athletes on their physical and mental game plans, compete in culinary showdowns, go head-to-head with peers in agility-course races, participate in a live masterclass and more.
Brandweek is THE INDUSTRY'S BEST compilation of bright minds, thoughtful discussions, and opportunities for marketers to grow. I come back full of ideas that I can contribute immediately. Thank you for a fantastic event!
IF YOU'RE STILL ON THE FENCE WHETHER OR NOT TO ATTEND BRANDWEEK, DO IT. If you're still undecided, find someone to push you to register. For the first time since COVID began, I WALKED AWAY FROM A CONFERENCE SAYING IT WAS WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION!

THE BUZZ
A can’t-miss event for anyone serious about brand marketing.
Brandweek is an amazing event for any/all those who truly must be in the know—stay connected with the clients, the colleagues and innovation in our ever-changing world.
A transformative experience that solidified my beliefs about the future of our industry.
Brandweek exceeded my expectations. To be in a room with some of the best marketers in the world — and to hear the similarities between our challenges and our stories — was incredibly inspiring. I came back to my office full of ideas and insights to guide the team.
It's the best place to talk about the importance of brand without all the clutter and concerns of day-to-day work.
I would describe BRANDWEEK in one word: EXTRAORDINARY.
Brandweek was amazing! The speakers were dynamic and diverse. I captured many gems for my marketing toolbox from the panel of leading and seasoned marketers!
Most valuable industry event I've ever attended. Speakers and content were top-notch. Location and venue were superb.
Marketing conferences are a dime a dozen, so to deliver an industry event that is meaningfully elevated and differentiated is a tall order, and one which Brandweek delivered in spades.
It's hard to justify time away from daily responsibilities but Brandweek was curated in a way that over-delivered my expectations. I made valuable connections and learned a lot including ways to improve our business. It really felt like a community of peers openly sharing opinions and insights, and the social aspects were really fun and everyone was just so nice which made connecting with new people really easy.
Brandweek provided brand marketers with vision, inspiration and real-life examples to tackle the unknown with conviction.
This was BY FAR THE BEST PROFESSIONAL EVENT I have ever attended. The speakers and content were fantastic. The community that ADWEEK has cultivated is helpful, optimistic, supportive, intelligent and kind. This is an event you need to attend.
