THIS YEAR'S THEME

The New Era of Creative with Creators

As creative becomes one of the biggest differentiators in ecommerce, the role of the creator is evolving with it. The brands getting it right are moving beyond transactional partnerships and bringing creators closer to the creative process — combining brand thinking with the people who understand how to capture attention and influence audiences.

On September 30, Thoughtful Minds Connect brings together some of the people shaping this new era to explore what great creator-led creative looks like, and where the biggest opportunities lie for brands.

WHY ATTEND?

Join us for a curated afternoon of industry connection, honest conversation and practical insight from leading creators, brand leaders and industry experts.

Through a series of panels and discussions, we'll unpack what's working now, where brands and creators are getting it wrong, and how to build more effective partnerships that deliver stronger creative and better outcomes.

Come away with fresh perspectives, practical ideas you can take back to your team, and a clearer view of where creator-led creative is heading next.
