The Quartz CONNECT CMO Summit 2025 focused on practical marketing innovation, highlighting that AI, unified data, and customer obsession are now essential. Brands like Spotify and the NFL lead in using data for hyper-personalization, while Trader Joe’s sets the standard for customer-centricity. The summit stressed the need to break down data silos, use tools like generative AI and composable CDPs, and prioritize seamless customer experiences. Marketers were urged to audit their tech stacks, launch AI pilots, and rethink engagement metrics, all while staying curious and building trust in a rapidly changing landscape.

Last year, we co-hosted an exclusive celebrity-chef dinner at RedBird in Downtown LA to celebrate the collaboration, creativity, and excellence we’ve shared with our partners at WordPress VIP over the last 5 years. It brought together industry leaders and innovators from companies like Techcrunch, NASA, Nexstar, Realtor.com, Necessaire, and more for an evening of decadent dining and engaging conversation.

“Just as content and platforms bring people together in the digital realm, a well-crafted dining experience can do the same in the physical world.”
