What does it take to build a brand that actually moves culture—and scales globally? 
In this session, Henry Stupp, President, EMEAI, will share how Authentic Brands Group has cracked the code on modern brand building, transforming legacy names into operating systems powered by media, experience, partnerships and commerce.
