An unparalleled lineup of Ad World leaders have come to share their secrets.
They will present actionable insights, data-driven knowledge, and innovative ideas from the online advertising industry.
Rory Sutherland is the Vice Chairman of Ogilvy, an attractively vague job title which has allowed him to co-found a Behavioral Science practice within the agency.
He works with a consulting practice of Psychology graduates who look for ‘unseen opportunities’ in consumer behavior - these are the often small contextual changes which can have enormous effects on the decisions people make, for instance tripling the sales rate of a call center by adding just a few sentences to the script.
Put another way, lots of agencies will talk about “bought, owned and earned” media. We also look for “invented media” and “discovered media”, seeking out those unexpected (and inexpensive) contextual tweaks that transform the way that people think and act.
Seth Godin is the author of 20 bestsellers that have been read all around the world. His work has been translated into more than 35 languages. He is also the founder of the altMBA and The Akimbo Workshops—online seminars that have transformed the lives of thousands of people.
He writes about the post-industrial revolution, the way ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership, and—most of all—changing the way people see the world. You might be familiar with some of his books: Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip, and Purple Cow. His book, "This Is Marketing", was an instant bestseller around the world. His latest, "The Practice", was published at the end of 2020 and is already a smash hit.
In addition to his writing and speaking, Seth has founded several companies, including Yoyodyne and Squidoo. His blog (you can find this by typing “Seth” into Google) is one of the most popular on the internet. His podcast rests in the top 1% of all podcasts worldwide.
In 2018, he was inducted into the Marketing Hall of Fame. More than 20,000 people have completed his influential Akimbo and altMBA workshops, and continue to seek out his invaluable guidance.
With systematic problem solving as her zone of genius, Kris Sugatan founded a growth-hacking ecommerce agency with a team of international digital nomads who work 24/7 to stay ahead of the competition and grow their client’s businesses like their own through innovative methodologies.
Since the inception of Sugatan in 2018, she has driven over $147 million in revenue for their clients while generating 24x ROAS during Black Week.
As a full-funnel strategist, Kris ensures that every creative decision is backed by data to create lasting success for clients.
Ryan Deiss is the Founder and CEO of The Scalable Company, DigitalMarketer.com, Recess.io, and a Founding Partner at Scalable Equity, LLC, a venture equity accelerator that builds and acquires B2B media and software brands.

He is also the Founder and Host of "The Traffic & Conversion Summit", the largest digital marketing conversion conference in North America.
Ryan is a best-selling author and a sought-after speaker who has shared the stage with top business leaders and celebrities like Sir Richard Branson, William Shatner, Gary Vaynerchuk, Rachel Hollis, Tim Ferris, Daymond John, and Dave Ramsey.
Dennis Yu is the CEO of BlitzMetrics, a digital marketing company which partners with schools to train young adults.
His personal mission centers around mentorship from his experience with helping people from all walks of life grow their expertise in digital marketing, sharing his insights from managing campaigns for enterprise clients like The Golden State Warriors, Nike, and Rosetta Stone.
Dennis is an internationally recognized lecturer in Facebook Marketing and has spoken over 730 times in 17 countries, spanning 5 continents, including keynotes at L2E, PubCon, Conversion Conference, Social Media Marketing World, Gultaggen, and Marketo Summit.
Jim Kwik, his real name, is the widely recognized world expert in memory improvement, brain optimization and accelerated learning.
After a childhood brain injury left him learning-challenged, he created strategies to dramatically enhance his mental performance. He has since dedicated his life to helping others unleash their true genius and brainpower.
Jim is host of the top education training podcast "Kwik Brain" and instant New York Times bestselling author of “Limitless - Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, Unlock Your Exceptional Life.” His mission: No brain left behind.
