Whether you are creating ads, campaigns that transform our culture or events, understanding the art of creating memorable experiences sets you apart.
Leading up to their Growth Hacker Marketing event, where author and marketing guru Ryan Holiday was a speaker, Dean Carlson and his team created the world’s largest mosaic artwork using ground coffee beans as a medium. They set a Guinness World Record with a DJ Black Coffee art installation at Sandton City, which was in collaboration with Percy Maimela.
The Founder and CEO of BrainFarm, Dean Carlson, conceptualised and created experiences that saw Sir Richard Branson, Malcolm Gladwell and others become speakers at the summits he organised. He talks about how he made these possible and attributes most of his success to the team of people around him and his insatiable curiosity.
“Obsess over the small details because that’s what elevates the memorable experiences you create.” – Dean Carlson, CEO and Founder of BrainFarm
