< back Stop Convincing How you help customers and consumers to adopt sustainable choices More detailed information Sustainability communication is failing. Governments and companies focus almost exclusively on why and not how. Those who really want to take stakeholders to a sustainable future must focus on how. In this keynote Wannes shows how 7 punishing tactics from marketing and behavioral economics can make all the difference. Request a quote Submit About As marketeers we influence the choices people make. In these times of massive pollution, climate destress and biodiversity loss this is a huge responsability. Every campaign we make is a statement for the society we choose. One with plastic waste and animal suffering or one with florishing wildlife and breathable clean air. However, we need big strong companies and brands to make a sustainable lifestyle easier. And so I am fascinated by whatever works to make our planet healthier and our people happier. I like to advocat people that annoy us, brands that have smart solutions and methods that ease the transition to a sustainable society that gets everyone on board.

We will step into the world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn't just a tool but the artist crafting customer journeys as unforgettable and unique as Spotify's iconic playlists. This keynote simplifies the vast potential of AI, breaking down how it’s the key to becoming as relevant in your industry as Spotify is in music. AI isn't just about algorithms or technology; it's about connections & people. It's the secret ingredient for businesses aiming to resonate deeply with their customers' needs and preferences. We’ll uncover the simple truths behind the sophisticated tech and beyond the hype — showing you how AI curates experiences with the precision and care of a personal concierge. We will explore together how being relevant today means knowing your customer better than they know themselves.

But it’s not just about the one-on-one moments; it’s about crafting entire ecosystems that keep customers returning. Like Spotify, explore how your business can become a hub where every service, product, and interaction fits perfectly into the customer’s daily rhythm. Let’s journey through the basics of building these ecosystems — environments where every touchpoint is an opportunity, and every service is a note in a greater symphony of user experience. By the end of our time together, you'll have the blueprint to not just reach for relevance but to grasp it. You'll see how to create a space in your industry where customers feel at home, engaged, and understood — a place they’ll keep coming back to, just like their favorite playlist.
