Our Uncomfortable Conversation series creates comfortable spaces to have honest conversations, bringing together our powerful and influential network to share challenges in an open environment. This is where we spark provocative debate, encourage our speakers and guests to step outside their comfort zone and push boundaries. As an industry, we far too often just scratch the surface of problems, but in these events we aim to delve a little deeper into business challenges offering up alternative perspectives and fresh ideas to address them.

You can't buy attention: Earned media is your superpower
In a world of ad blockers, skippable content and thumbs scrolling faster than ever, attention is the new currency—and here’s the uncomfortable truth: it’s not for sale.
You can buy eyeballs, but you can’t buy your way to brand love. You have to earn your way into culture and that means starting or joining conversations that people actually care about.
Earned media is your unfair advantage. It’s what happens when your story is too bold to ignore, too relevant not to repeat, and too good not to share.
If you want your brand to land in the WhatsApp chats, the DMs and the memes, then you need to create stories that intersect with the everyday lives of consumers.
This session will unpack why earned media isn’t just a PR function—it’s a brand growth tool. A superpower in a media landscape where the battle for attention has never been tougher.
In partnership
