For FMCG brand owners and marketers keen to know why real world engagement is important in the marketing mix, the upcoming Brands Behaving Bravely LIVE breakfast forum will provide the answers.

Hurle has considerable expertise in this area. Prior to founding Brandcrush, he was the founding sales director of influencer marketplace TRIBE, group sales manager at Marketplacer and national sales manager at Emu Australia (USA).

 

At LIVE, Hurle will show attendees how technology is enabling hyper targeting, scalable execution and real world endorsement through a network of trusted businesses.

He will give insight into what's driving the brand activation phenomenon and demonstrate how Brandcrush works with brands and activation partners/hosts to facilitate product sampling and experiential marketing with a difference -- that is relatively inexpensive yet drives consumer engagement, sales, and brand loyalty.
