Cherryflava conference: Brand Hooligans – Creating a brand experience that makes people nuts about you

Posted on 05. May, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry in Streetflava

On Thursday 28 May 2009 Cherryflava will host an experiential marketing conference in Cape Town called BRAND HOOLIGANS – Creating a brand experience that makes people crazy about you.

The event will showcase the city's most creative and successful marketing practitioners in a unique marketing conference format designed to generate maximum insight into their successful strategies and future opportunities as they see it.

It's a must-attend event for marketers, creative professionals, entrepreneurs and strategists keen to gain insight into how a carefully crafted experience can be the most efficient and effective marketing tool a brand can employ. Tickets to the conference are very limited. Only 30 are available for purchase.

[This video was shot on one of our experiential marketing presentations that we do with the UCT Graduate School of Business' Nomadic Marketing programme. This presentation is very much about practical applications of mobile tech in the urban environment, which fits in well with the overall line-up of the Nomadic marketing event, but gives you an idea of what we consider to be an experiential experience.]

The speaker line up includes:

Rui Esteves & Brad Armitage [founders vida e caffe and and now Brewers & Union] – Building a world-class South African brand: The devil’s in the detail
Jody Aufrichtig [co-creator of the Old Biscuit Mill and The Grand Daddy and one of South Africa’s most prolific and successful business innovators] – Re-imaging the way things are done
Porky Hefer [celebrated creative director and founder of Animal Farm - an award-winning creative consultancy that is quickly redesigning the world] – Innovation inspiration from the world around you
Mike Ratcliffe [Platter’s guide 2009 5-star award-winner and owner of Stellenbosch-based Warwick Wines and Vilafonté] – Experience is the only real marketing tool we’ve got left
Gareth Cotten [the 24-year old entrepreneur and creator of Chariot Limousines] – 10 recession busting marketing ideas in 3 blocks
Jonathan Cherry [editor of Cherryflava] – How to market like Marilyn Manson

This is one you can't miss.

Hey Ray,
The show is set to happen on the 28th of May, so still a couple of weeks away.
We’ll see what we can do about bringing you some of the action on the day.
