The Marketing Meetup is a global community for marketers, and the marketing-curious. This is your space to keep up to date and meet like minds, in an environment that prioritises kindness and learning you can actually put into action.
Join The Marketing Meetup, BeReal, and Caliber for an evening of media, marketers, and creatives to discuss “How We Connect Now: AI, Socials, and Brand.”
Cannes showed the AI conversation moving past automation into something more human. How we take in information and relate to each other is shifting, and not always in the ways the platforms promised. Marketing has leaned so hard into creators that trust now lives with people.
You will hear from our amazing panel speakers:
– Ben Moore, Managing Director at BeReal;
- Ramin Beheshti, CEO and Co-founder at Caliber;
– Caroline Turnbull Doran, Design Researcher and Strategist at PA Consulting
