Speakers come from world-renowned brands including the Alibaba Group, Blue Bottle Coffee, Booking.com, DBS Bank, lululemon, Kuaishou (Magnetic Engine), Mastercard, MTR Corporation Limited, the South China Morning Post, teamLab and Qianxun (Hangzhou) Holding Co.

    Margaret Fong, HKTDC Executive Director, welcomed international participants to the virtual conference, saying: “With the pandemic reshaping global economies and accelerating digital transformation trends, a platform such as MarketingPulse becomes more important than ever before. From innovation and technology to shifting consumer behaviour and brand-new business models, the marketing and branding industry is now facing significant transformation. This conference provides a platform for global brands, creative minds and service providers to explore partnerships, innovative marketing solutions and business development opportunities. With the theme ‘Marketing for GOOD’, it also explores how brands can take the lead in contributing to society while communicating creatively to consumers under the new normal.”

    Experts speak on “Marketing for GOOD”
    In the first session this morning, Bryan Meehan, Executive Chair, Blue Bottle Coffee, shared on how the American coffee roaster and retailer raises consumers’ awareness regarding various topical issues. “Blue Bottle has three core values: deliciousness, hospitality and sustainability. One of the beliefs we have at Blue Bottle is a limitless potential of caring. And that word really matters right now. For people in business who are thinking about reopening and how to reposition their brand going forward, I think constant care is really important,” Mr Meehan said.

    Guy Kawasaki, a notable marketer, author and venture capitalist from the United States, who previously worked as Chief Evangelist at Apple and Special Advisor to the CEO of the Motorola division at Google, and now works as Chief Evangelist at graphic design company Canva, shared his advice on preparing for a digital future and mastering the art of communicating with customers in the new era. “As a marketing framework, figure out how you can create a product and then convince the world that you have something that is unique and valuable. That explains all of marketing,” Mr Kawasaki said.

    Named as one of the world’s most influential chief marketing officers (CMOs) by Forbes, Chris Tung, Chief Marketing Officer, Alibaba Group, led another session, examining how the e-commerce giant has demonstrated the true value of integrating marketing and philanthropy through digitalisation, innovation and technology.
