Gutsy and Groundbreaking by Design (ft. Kathryn Frankson | Global Director of Marketing | Money20/20)
Bio:
Kathryn Frankson is the Global Director of Marketing at Money20/20, the disruptive leader in fintech events. After many years of selling exhibition space and sponsorships, Kathryn held a 15-year tenure with event juggernauts UBM and Informa as Director of Event Marketing. Kathryn now leads the global marketing efforts for Money20/20 with a focus on best-in-class brand campaigns and experiential storytelling.
Opening Quote:
"So that really, that culture of ideation and safe space and, yes, the end has unlocked huge ideas that are in a year ahead or a five-year roadmap or things. You know, the show is happening in three weeks, and we're like, oh, my God, that is such a cool build. Let's add that in there. We can totally do that."
Summary:
In another engaging episode of No More Bad Events, Scott chats with Kathryn Frankson, Director of Global Events for Money 20/20 - the world’s biggest and most influential gathering of the global money ecosystem. Sounds serious, right? Well, that is it, but when you have Kathryn at the helm, things can get quite unconventional.
Kathryn and her team take every opportunity to underscore the value of genuine conversations and every opportunity to include diverse ideas in marketing campaigns. Innovative and integrated approaches are critical to delivering meaningful value to attendees and sponsors. And with that in mind, she never fails to entertain concepts that seem out of the ordinary. As long as they align with the objectives and needs of the audience, she is all in. Campaigns like Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll, and Who the F Knows, and Be Like Drew get noticed.
Her team thrives on a culture of collaboration, ideation, and innovation. And she does none of that without embedding herself in the industry to understand what's needed so that she can formulate the story and help curate it with the right voices and devices.
Her gutsy and thorough strategies foster vibrant environments where groundbreaking approaches come to life to generate success. Bottom line… it’s got to be human-centric. It’s got to start with a conversation. Going full circle… next up on Kathryn’s docket is Human X Machine. It's the Money 20/20 USA Conference concept that recognizes our increasingly intelligent machine counterparts. Of which the world is all abuzz.
Tune in today for great insights, great stories, and great fun. All are intently designed to produce nothing but the best events. So grab your headsets and get cozy cause this is a great listen.
