Brand-Side is our two-day conference aimed squarely at the inner dynamics of the very best in-house creative departments. With sessions from some of the most acclaimed brand and marketing leaders in the industry, Brand-Side is a one-of-a-kind experience that gives creatives in this space a behind-the-scenes look at the tactics and cultures behind the teams who build, maintain, and grow a brand’s presence in the market.
Â
Whether being Brand-Side is a new experience for you or you are a seasoned in-house leader looking to invigorate your team, you will come away from the conference with inspiration, connections, and practical applications to up your creative game. Sessions will tackle topics like ‘How do you establish a strong creative culture if your brand isn’t considered ‘creative’? What is the best way to steward your brand internally and also work seamlessly with external agency partners?’ and much more.
