MarketingPulse returns for a Second Edition this month in Hong Kong
World-renowned marketers and advertisers share creative strategies
HONG KONG, Mar 04, 2019 - (ACN Newswire) - The second edition of MarketingPulse, a marketing conference organised by the HKTDC, returns on 20 March to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. More than 40 globally celebrated marketing and advertising experts will share their success stories and the latest marketing trends. This year's MarketingPulse will also present seminars highlighting new marketing ideas and creative solutions that can help companies embrace new business models and customer clusters.
The morning session, titled "Dear Brands, Let's Sail to the Future!", will feature five industry heavyweights as speakers, including Bozoma Saint John, Chief Marketing Officer of Endeavor; Jonathan Mildenhall, co-founder & CEO of TwentyFirstCenturyBrand; Marcelo Pascoa, Head of Global Brand Marketing at Burger King; Keiei Sho, Executive Officer, General Manager of Overseas Business Division at Calbee, Inc; and Michelle Cordeiro Grant, founder and CEO of LIVELY.
Ms Saint John is renowned as an innovative marketing and advertising executive and was named one of the world's most creative people in the Ad Age "Creativity 50". At Endeavor, a leading global marketing firm for entertainment, sports and fashion, she focuses on driving marketing efforts across a growing global network of companies. She previously served as Head of Global Consumer Marketing for iTunes & Apple Music, impressing the audience at Apple's keynote Worldwide Developers Conference when introducing a new interface for Apple Music. Digital publication Buzzfeed later described her as "the coolest person to ever go on stage at an Apple event".
Another speaker, Dr Pascoa from fast food chain Burger King, believes that creative work can be a source of real change that can make the world a better and more interesting place. His bold creativity has helped international companies such as Burger King and, previously, Coca-Cola refresh their brands. In 2017, Burger King rolled out a 15-second advertisement that quickly went viral around the world and earned the company a Grand Prix award at the Cannes Lions International Festival, an event widely regarded as the Oscars of the advertising industry.
