About Marketing360

A new-generation executive platform for brand growth

Marketing360 Summit is a new-generation executive platform created to bring together the critical business functions responsible for building brands, winning customers and driving profitable growth.

For too long, Marketing, Public Relations & Communications, Sales, Customer Experience and Digital have operated as separate functions, often pursuing different objectives despite serving the same customer and contributing to the same business.

Marketing360 is designed to change that conversation. The Summit brings these disciplines together on one platform to explore how organisations can break down functional silos, align strategy, integrate customer intelligence and create a seamless journey — from brand awareness and reputation to engagement, conversion, experience, loyalty and revenue.

Marketing360 is not simply a marketing conference. It is a business growth conversation about connecting every function that influences the customer.

The Big Idea

One customer.
One brand.
One growth agenda.

Customers do not see departments. They see one brand.

Whether they encounter that brand through advertising, social media, a salesperson, a website, customer service, a physical store or a corporate communication, they expect one consistent experience.

Yet within many organisations, the teams responsible for those interactions continue to operate independently. Marketing360 challenges this traditional model.

The Summit will explore how businesses can connect Marketing + PR + Sales + CX + Digital around shared customer insights, common commercial objectives and measurable business outcomes.

Why Marketing360? Why Now?

The customer has changed. Has your organisation?

The connected, demanding customer

Consumers are more connected, informed, demanding and less loyal than ever. They move effortlessly between physical and digital channels, compare brands instantly, influence corporate reputation through social platforms, and expect personalised experiences at every touchpoint.

The board wants proof, not impressions

CEOs and boards increasingly expect marketing and customer-facing functions to demonstrate measurable contribution to business growth. It is no longer enough to generate visibility, impressions, followers or engagement — brand investment must connect to acquisition, conversion, retention, market share, revenue and profitability.

A Track Record of World-Class Events

Produced by the team behind the Marketing World Awards

Marketing World Magazine has spent years bringing Africa’s marketing, PR and brand leaders together on one stage — most recently at the 14th Marketing World Awards. Marketing360 Summit is the same calibre of production, built for a working morning of executive conversation rather than an evening of celebration.
