Included among Forbes’ list of Marketing Conferences, the international brand conference and festival Brandemonium will return October 1-4, 2019, at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza. The lineup will feature Tim Ellis, CMO – National Football League, Lisa Destefano, VP Brand Marketing and Creative – The Home Depot, Eric Solomon, CMO – Blackbird, Nahal Yousefian, Chief People Experience Officer – MEC Co-op and many more as outlined below.
Brandemonium 2019 brings the visionaries, innovators and disruptors together for those eager to learn – – and prepare — for what’s next in marketing. The marketplace moves at the speed of tech and culture. Brands must move with it or risk being left behind. Disruption. Hypercompetitiveness. Evolution. They’re all the norm. And for a brand facing this reality, it’s time to embrace brand agility.
Are you ready?
Register for Brandemonium taking place October 1-4, 2019 in Cincinnati, Ohio where brand management was born. The Queen City’s marketing heritage – coupled with today’s technology and startup expertise – makes it the place to learn to navigate the tension between ever-changing markets and brand continuity.
“The conference is still about the evolution and future of branding,” said Brandemonium Co-Founder Bill Donabedian. “We just went up a little higher to focus on brand agility as opposed to brand activations and experiential marketing.”
New focus for 2019
The 2019 conference will offer attendees a more streamlined approach that will allow them to better tailor their experience to their interests, expertise, industry and more. The conference sessions will be focused on brand agility. These elements will follow eight themes that break apart brand agility into its most core and industry-relevant elements. Each features a path of pressing interest we’ll explore at Brandemonium 2019 to prepare conference attendees for the future of marketing.
Brand Activism
Brand/Content Strategy
Data/Technology
Design & User Experience
Ethnic Marketing
Innovation Culture
Omnichannel/Retail
Talent Development
“Just like any good startup, Brandemonium has listened to its customers to refine the nature and format of the conference,” said Brandemonium Co-Founder Kevin Canafax. “The third time is the charm and we think we have a winning combination of content and networking opportunities.”
