Invisible Brands: How Brands You Might Never Think of Stay Relevant and Successful in This Highly Chaotic and Overly Messaged World
5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar
We’re switching up our May event format with an evening happy hour chat hosted by Chris Martin, VP of Creative, from G&S Business Communications!
With Invisible Brands, Chris will walk through successful companies, big and small, that you may recognize, but may not consider influencer-level. He’ll share content from them, show how creative supports the message, and ask the audience to think of a brand they might consider invisible and why.
One drink ticket and tasty wood-fired pizza from Mulino are included with your registration! We’ll plan to sit outside and enjoy Mulino’s incredible patio if the weather cooperates – if not, we’ll move the event inside. Ample parking is available on site.
Guests: $35 (Members, be sure to log in to see your discounted purchase links!)
Students: $28 (Valid university affiliation required.)

Tobacco Road Sports Cafe
Shea Carter, AVP of social media and influencer marketing at French/West/Vaughan, looks at influencer marketing, as the buzz on this topic only continues to grow louder.
At this luncheon, you’ll learn about the difference between micro-influencers and macro-influencers, the pros and cons of earned vs paid influencer engagement, and how to get the most out of influencer relationships. We’ll wrap it up by sharing a few successful influencer programs and open up the floor for questions.
