Future Demand Book Talk
Tracksuit co-founder James Hurman presents his new edition of Future Demand. This special event brought together two of the sharpest minds in modern marketing for a candid discussion on what actually drives effectiveness today and what most brands still get wrong.
James Hurman, globally recognized expert on marketing effectiveness, co-author of The Effectiveness Code with Cannes Lions and WARC, and co-founder of Tracksuit, has spent his career helping the world’s leading brands turn creativity into measurable growth.
In conversation with Dr. Marcus Collins, clinical professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, former Head of Strategy at Wieden+Kennedy New York, and bestselling author of For The Culture, whose work sits at the intersection of culture, influence, and consumer behavior.
Together, they unpack:
- What “effectiveness” really means in today’s landscape
- The tension between brand and performance (and how to get both right)
- Lessons from the world’s most effective campaigns
