The End of Marketing: Humanizing Your Brand in the Age of Social Media and AI

Social networks are the new norm, and traditional marketing is failing in today's digital, always-on culture where businesses across the world have to face up to how they remain relevant in the choppy waters of the digital ocean. In an era where a YouTube star gets more daily impressions than Nike, Coca-Cola, and Walmart combined, traditional marketing as we know it is dead. This presentation will reinforce that no matter how easy it is to reach potential customers, the critical relationship between brand and consumer still needs the human touch. Learn how to put 'social' back into social media and claim brand relevancy in a world where algorithms dominate, organic reach is dwindling, and consumers don't want to be sold to, they want to be engaged.

On behalf of Gulf Coast Community Foundation, let me express our sincere gratitude for your participation as our keynote speaker at Strong Across The Board, Strong Across The Team on October 17. This annual offering has been successful because of our collaboration with exceptional speakers like yourself. As we planned this event with our 25th anniversary in mind, we wanted to ensure that we made it our best yet, and you far surpassed our hopes and expectations. This year, our event reached capacity in a matter of days after our invitation reached the community. We celebrate your authenticity, dynamic delivery and engaging persona as a speaker and are most appreciative of your responsiveness, flexibility, and availability. It meant so much to our attendees that you committed ample time before, during and after the event to honor each individual you met and deliver an exceptional interaction, every time. We are also honored you chose our event to hold your first book signing of The End Of Marketing, a bold and relevant book that will help further the key takeaways from your presentation and hardwire the concepts for our Sarasota region’s non-profit partners. Let me share a handful of the many comments we received after your keynote: “I have attended a lot of training sessions over the years and this was, by far, the most engaging, educational session I have attended. Thank you and thanks to Gulf Coast for bringing Carlos to our community.” “I wanted to thank you for today’s seminar. I’m so glad I got to go. It was great content and will be very useful!” “Thank you, Gulf Coast Community Foundation for the opportunity to hear an intriguing presentation of the Future of #Marketing! Thank you, Carlos Gil, for sharing your energy and passion!” “It was great to be part of this exciting morning! Thank you GCCF and Carlos for this fantastically refreshing and educational opportunity!” We are also so grateful for your generous offer to support our future workshops as we continue our work in the social media environment. Once again, you surpassed all of our expectations and truly put on an incredible presentation. In sincere appreciation, Veronica Veronica L. Thames Senior Vice President for Administration | COO
