Max Lenderman Biography

Max Lenderman has a pulse on the future so that you and your business can win today.

Throughout his career as CCO, CMO and CEO at global ad agencies and fast-growing brands, Lenderman has worked at the forefront of marketing’s evolution. His first book 15 years ago made the term “experiential marketing” part of a brand’s lexicon and is still considered “the best book on experiential marketing.” His second book presented outrageously effective marketing campaigns from around the world. And for the past decade, he has consulted Fortune 100 companies on the power of purpose in marketing – years before the term “brand purpose” became a must-have in business.

He is also a well-known marketing voice in the world of web3, having launched one of the earliest web3 consulting agencies in early 2021. He is currently helping brands and businesses understand the “phygital” connections between digital and physical worlds that will be the next frontier of marketing and advertising.

He is a columnist for Adweek and Campaign magazines, where he writes the “Into the Metaverse” column. He has spoken at major conferences like SXSW, Consensus, Forbes CMO Summit, Advertising Week, The Art of Marketing and X-Prize, as well as dozens of marketing conferences and company off-sites.

Lenderman is a masterful “explainer” and connecter. If you are interested in innovation, creativity and insight to unlock business growth and social impact, Lenderman will help you look within and see around the corner.

Max Lenderman Speaking Topics

  • AI and Creativity: A Workshop for the Future of Ideas

    In today's fast-evolving marketing and advertising landscape, the role of AI is a double-edged sword, perceived by some as a threat and by others as an opportunity. For companies and brands that work with creatives and creative agencies, AI can amplify the output of talented creatives by 10 to 20 times, rather than replacing them. This workshop is designed to demystify AI's impact on creativity and illustrate how it can be a powerful ally for marketers and advertisers.

    This isn’t another talk about AI. It's a dynamic, hands-on and thought-provoking workshop that will challenge your preconceptions and provide actionable insights into how AI can amplify your creative potential rather than replace it.

    Key Workshop Topics:

    • The Collaborative Power of AI: Discover how AI acts as a creative partner, enhancing human ingenuity through feedback loops, data-driven insights, and pattern recognition. Learn how AI can review and refine creative outputs, ensuring they align with your brand's vision and audience expectations.

    • Innovative Tools and Techniques: Explore the latest AI tools that support creative processes, from generative AI that crafts unique content to algorithms that personalize marketing strategies based on consumer behavior.

    • Real-World Success Stories: Hear about projects where AI has played a crucial role in overcoming creative challenges, leading to groundbreaking campaigns and substantial ROI. These stories will illustrate the practical benefits of integrating AI into your creative toolkit.

    • Future Trends and Ethical Considerations: Stay ahead of the curve by understanding future trends in AI and creativity. We'll also address ethical considerations, ensuring that AI is used responsibly and sustainably in your marketing efforts.

    Join Max Lenderman on a fascinating journey into the future of creativity, where AI and human talent combine to push the boundaries of what's possible in marketing and advertising. Don't miss this opportunity to transform your approach to creativity and stay competitive in a rapidly changing industry.

  • Why Web3 Matters to Marketers

    You may be a believer in web3, are interested in it, or think it is a hyped-up fad – all three of these perspectives are all to be discussed – but you have to get a good understanding on why it may be a huge opportunity for your marketing and innovation.

    The blending of digital and physical worlds – the “phygital” – will be instrumental in the marketing of the future. Learn how the creators, influencers and entrepreneurs are reshaping the marketing landscape, and what brands and companies can do right now to capitalize on the surge of physical and digital integration.

    Max guides his audience on the philosophies that are driving the ever-increasing blending of URL and IRL creativity, innovation and brand-building. And he gives applicable examples of how brands and companies are using the latest technologies being appropriated in the metaverse to drive customer loyalty, earned media, product innovation and more.
