Our Strategy Director Pedro Porto Alegre was at the Energy Disruptors conference recently, listening in to the big conversations about the future of the industry – its challenges, innovations, and stories to be told. Check out his key takeaways, and how marketing and energy can both contribute to something better ahead 🤝 #Marketing #Energy #EDU2024
After spending 2 days listening to so many amazing thinkers and doers at the Energy Disruptors conference, I am left with quite a bit of optimism (for someone who's thinking been shaped by philosophy and classic literature, this is a hard thing for me, but I truly am optimistic today). Here I capture some of the key insights I've walked away with, and a call to action for both energy companies and the advertising industry as a whole. Let me know your thoughts in the comments - in true "less hate, more debate" EDU fashion, I want to hear people's views on this contentious topic. #marketing #advertising #edu2024

Times Square in New York City is one of the best places for brands to capture a global audience. But it’s difficult for ads to stand out among hundreds of competitors - let alone be memorable to the 300,000+ people passing through every day. So, what’s the secret to capturing attention? How can you convey your message to all languages and cultures? After his recent trip to the Big Apple, our CEO Ryan Townend shares his thoughts in our latest Global News segment. Watch the full video below 👇 #GlobalMarketing #NewYorkCity #TimesSquare

"It was a true honour to co-host the 2024 STARS Rescue in the Rockies," our CEO, Ryan Townend, says as he reflects on the day. "In the lead-up to the event, I had the privilege of connecting with the STARS crew, a VIP (Very Important Patient), and the participants through interviews, social media, and my Roundup. The day was an unforgettable experience — flying in the helicopter and hosting the various challenges. The participants raised over $450,000 for such an incredible cause. Although I'm hanging up my blue suit, the memories of the STARS Rescue in the Rockies will stay with me forever."
