Being Agile in Today’s Marketplace,” and brain science expert Olivier Oullier taught the crowd fascinating “neuro-hacks” in “Mental Agility: Mastering the Emorational Brain.” Three experts from the global Mindshare team also shared in the day, including Liam MacManus from “Risking Everything in Real-Time,” which examined the Global Planning Director’s success in the renowned Nike “Risk Everything” campaign, as well as Global Head of Strategy Tim Elton and Managing Partner of Invention Sean Jefferson in “The Media Plan of the Future: How Any Brand Can be Agile.”
The one-day summit offered a lineup of industry experts from around the world, who gave thought-provoking presentations that advised attendees on how to harness the extreme timeliness of modern-day communications to create agile marketing strategies that identify with customers on a closer level than ever before.
