All the Right Places: Creating Connected Brand Journeys
Monday, June 22
1:30PM – 2PM CEST
Audiences don’t experience brands in a single place or moment. They move across platforms, channels, and communities, and they expect every interaction to feel intentional. This conversation explores how marketers are building brand experiences that travel seamlessly without losing their edge. We’ll dig into how to give every touchpoint room to breathe while creating a brand journey that feels clear, cohesive, and unmistakably connected.
Speakers:
- Elizabeth Beringer, President, Real Chemistry Media
- Peggy Roe, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer, Marriott International
Culture on Cue: How Brands Show Up in Culture
Thursday, June 25
10:30 AM – 11AM CEST
Culture moves fast, and the most resonant brands know when to step in and when to hold back. This session explores how marketing leaders identify the moments, communities, and conversations where their brands have a genuine right to play, then activate with intention when timing matters most. Hear real stories of brands showing up in ways that felt credible, built relevance, and left a lasting mark.
Speakers:
- Chris Lieber, Executive Vice President, starpower, part of Real Chemistry
- Tati Lindenberg, Chief Marketing Officer, Home Care, Unilever
