Expand Your Marketing Horizons

The Art of Marketing is coming to Toronto on March 5th, 2012.

I’m very excited to announce that The Art of Marketing full-day leadership summit is happening in Toronto on March 5th, 2012. As you can see by this year’s agenda, the line-up is stellar. I’ll be sharing the stage (and kicking off the day) with Facebook‘s former head of Marketing, Randi Zuckerberg (I believe you know her brother ;), branding and consumer behaviorist, Martin Lindsrom, Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, Youngme Moon, the Co-Founder and Chief Brand Architect at Method, Eric Ryan, President and CEO at Loyalty One, Bryan Pearson, and I’ll also be taking part in a very cool segment during the day where I will be having a live conversation on stage with Scooter Braun (he discovered and currently manages Justin Bieber). I’m hopeful that the folks at The Art of Marketing and Scooter will allow me to record this session to release it as an episode of Six Pixels of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast (finger’s crossed).

I hope to see you there.

I spend the entire day at these events hanging out, meeting people but more importantly, listening and learning from the other speakers. Next to the TED conference, these are the events that I attend to learn, grow and expand my marketing horizons. I not only hope to see you there (and please come over to say "hi" if you do), but I hope that you take this opportunity to learn and grow right along with me.

I’ll see you at The Art of Marketing!
