Marketing FactoriesThe Meetup

Marketing Factories is a thought leadership platform and podcast by Effie Europe and REBORRN, exploring how marketing effectiveness gets built.

We usually open the doors of iconic companies and step inside each brand's story. This time, we're stepping out of the studio and into a room filled with marketers — a live gathering built around the conversations that make Marketing Factories.

What to expect

An open dialogue around marketing effectiveness

Effie celebrates the output of effective marketing. REBORRN works with global marketing teams to design the systems, structures and processes that make effectiveness possible. Together, we explore what happens behind the scenes: how modern marketing organizations are actually built and how they operate at their best.

For the first time, Marketing Factories is coming to Geneva.

Join us for a special meetup edition where Dafni Prosalika (Partner, REBORRN) sits down with a senior marketing executive to unpack their biggest takeaways from Cannes and open the floor for an honest discussion about the challenges, tensions and opportunities that shape marketing today.

This is about more than Cannes.

Why Geneva

Geneva is one of Europe's most important marketing hubs. It hosts the global and regional headquarters of some of the world's most influential brands and thousands of marketers from all around the world.

Yet despite this concentration of talent, there are surprisingly few opportunities for the local marketing community to come together, exchange ideas and challenge each other's thinking.

Our ambition is simple: to be in as many rooms as possible where the future of marketing is being discussed, and to create more of those rooms ourselves.

We hope Geneva becomes one of them.
