The Rise of Fandom: Every Brand Can Turn Audiences into Fans
Description:
In an increasingly polarized world, the concept of being a fan (short for “fanatic”) can give rise to mixed emotions. Yet when fans reach critical mass, there’s a tipping point in sentiment and a more mainstream acceptance of what or whoever sits at the epicentre of such admiration. The reality is that growing fandom isn’t just good for business, it’s good for people and has a uniting effect on society. Join leading voices from the worlds of brand, entertainment and sport to hear why fandom matters more than ever, how to ignite and cultivate it, and how to scale beyond niche audiences.
