The evening’s unexpected twist featured a magician, reinforcing the theme of bringing ‘magic’ back into marketing. This was a reminder that creativity, innovation, and storytelling are just as crucial as data-driven strategies in today’s fast-evolving digital world.

Creating a Space for Marketing Leaders
