MarketingPulse ONLINE aims to “help you prepare for a post-pandemic business recovery and operate in a new marketing world of opportunities”, read on to learn about the marketing event of the year!
It is fair to say that 2020 taught us many lessons, one of which is that we should keep on learning new things. In a time that saw many souls living through quarantine, learning online was a life-source for most of us. Knowledge gives way to creativity, and creativity is a precious resource, so we all came out richer for it.
To prove that we should keep the ball running, is why we are presenting one of the most thought-provoking events in the marketing industry to take place in Asia. MarketingPulse is an integrated branding and marketing conference which takes place in Hong Kong since 2018, where marketers, brands, advertising agencies, media, enterprises and innovation professionals from all around the world come together to discuss marketing trends, exchange best marketing practices and explore new collaborations in this side of the world. Think of it as a rendezvous of interesting people, who all want to connect and explore.

Become ready, become better
Quite appropriately, this year, MarketingPulse will focus on another of 2020 great messages: to become better, kinder versions of ourselves. It is not a coincidence that this year’s ONLINE conference, which will take place between March 30-31, has “Marketing for GOOD” as its main theme. Over the course of two days, over 40 international speakers will come together to showcase how marketing and creativity can help driving the force for good. It is more important than ever to focus on “Brand Purpose”, “Storytelling & Creativity” as well as “D2C & Community Marketing”, all topics that will be explained and debated at length. As the world is moving at a fast pace, “Digital Future and Innovation” will be another relevant theme. Topics such as growth tech, 5G, livestreaming, Sonic Branding, Data-driven and Gamified Marketing, will be covered by experts in their fields.
Whichever way you look at this opportunity, the main aim is to provide inspirational exchanges from brands and agencies, as well as practical tips, such as ‘how-to’ guides shared with participants through a series of workshops and, of course, networking opportunities that will connect participants with marketers in Hong Kong and the world.
