Build Great Brand Partnerships, Don’t Clout Chase
Younger generations have changed the definition of what successful influencer marketing looks like. By skipping typical commercial breaks and bypassing misguided celebrity campaigns, consumers’ interactions with advertising have changed drastically.

Hear from the minds behind successful partnerships like Travis Scott x McDonald’s, Post Malone x Bud Light, Beyoncé x Adidas, and the NBA x AT&T’s Code of Culture on what influencer collaborations need to look like to succeed in internet culture.
