Marketing leaders workshop: Fearless leadership for Zalpha and beyond
Join our workshop for senior brand and agency decision-makers followed by a networking lunch.
Agenda:
- Icebreaker: Unlock Your Buyer's Mind with Behavioural Science - In this entertaining keynote, Dr. Peter Hughes, psychologist and CEO of Cognition, will uncover the psychology that really drives consumer behaviour. Using examples from a casino in Las Vegas to a bank robbery in Pittsburgh, he will take you on a tour inside your buyer's mind (and your own!). You'll learn about the biases that drive engagement, and how they affect the decisions made by brand and marketing leaders.
- Fearless leadership for Zalpha and beyond - marketing success for next-gen consumers - Hear from our panel of marketing chiefs that are tackling this competitive landscape head on. They will share their insights into understanding their Gen Zalpha consumers and preparing your marketing teams for a new generation of youth audiences.
- Roundtables - Meet, discuss, and exchange ideas with your peers across the following topics:
- The changing shape of the marketing function
- What youth audiences look like in 2025 and beyond
- The leader vs team member age gap
- And more!
Followed by a networking lunch by Pollen + Grace serving healthy salad bowls & wraps.
