On January 13 and 14, we had the pleasure of attending Brand Innovator’s Evolution of Retail and Commerce Summit in New York City. The summit promised to be dynamic and an unmatched change to highlight and absorb thought leadership from the brightest minds in marketing and media. It did not disappoint.
Brands like Target, Mondelez, Lenovo, Steve Madden, Amazon, Macy’s, and more, met to discuss how they are working to redefine how marketers approach engagement and loyalty. illumin was proud to be a part of such an incredible event. We attended the Brand Innovators VIP Dinner at the Empire Room at Mastro’s in New York on Monday, January 13, and participated in The Future of Retail and Media: Trends and Innovations Roundtable.
Our own Chief Strategy Officer, Seraj Bharwani also moderated a must-see Fireside Chat the same day: Boundary-Free Marketing: Adapting to Modern Consumer Behavior, featuring the insightful Sarah Crockett, Chief Marketing Officer at DSW.
This event was one of two exciting events we attended in January and an excellent way to kick off the year. We can’t wait to see what else Brand Innovators has in store for 2025.
