Future Demand with James Hurman and Dr. Marcus Collins
Join us for an intimate, one-night-only conversation at Giant Spoon in New York for James Hurman's new edition of Future Demand.
This special evening brings together two of the sharpest minds in modern marketing for a candid discussion on what actually drives effectiveness today and what most brands still get wrong.
James Hurman, globally recognized expert on marketing effectiveness, co-author of The Effectiveness Code with Cannes Lions and WARC, and co-founder of Tracksuit, has spent his career helping the world’s leading brands turn creativity into measurable growth.
In conversation with Dr. Marcus Collins, clinical professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, former Head of Strategy at Wieden+Kennedy New York, and bestselling author of For The Culture, whose work sits at the intersection of culture, influence, and consumer behavior.
Together, they’ll unpack:
What “effectiveness” really means in today’s landscape
The tension between brand and performance (and how to get both right)
Lessons from the world’s most effective campaigns
Following the conversation, we’ll open it up for audience Q&A and continue the discussion over drinks and light bites.
