FUTR is happy to welcome marketing guru Andrew Garrihy to the stage. From cutting his teeth at Vodafone, Qualcomm & National Australia Bank to moving onto the heights of North Asia’s super powers of Samsung, Huawei & Didi, he is one of the foremost industry leaders around all things marketing, brand & storytelling. Currently he sees the most value in stripping back technology to focus on more traditional channels. That Technology & AdTech in particular is destroying marketing effectiveness. Who said OOH, radio & linear TV are dead! Andrew certainly didn’t 😉

James Hirst, Founder & CEO, THE INTELLIGENT BRIEF

Why can we be genuinely happy when we perceive something as fair? Why can we be profoundly hurt by bereavement? Why can we be deeply touched by a story? A recent development in a young discipline called “social cognitive neuroscience” demonstrated that our brain is not merely designed to respond to pain and pleasure, but is instead wired to connect in a more profound and counterintuitive way. Newly observed dynamics already invalidated established theories like Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, but they also shifted the focus of disciplines like design by redefining the definition of sustainable business. Andrea’s talk will reveal the details of a new design direction of work with particular attention to the social cognitive aspects of value creation and its interconnection with the establishment of innovative products, services, and successful business practices you can implement.

Research tells us that market-orientated businesses are more likely to enjoy bigger profits and customer loyalty, but it can be surprisingly easy to lose sight of the customer and let business needs and assumptions take centre stage.
