AI is changing the game for marketers, no doubt. It’s helping us move quicker, target smarter, and streamline the process. But if you’re in events and experiential marketing like I am, you know this: people still want connection.

👀 The spotlight is fading on celebrity speakers—and honestly, I’m here for it.

At Pugnacious, we believe in designing events that feel like an experience, not just a photo op. While A-list names can be exciting, the ROI often fades faster than the applause. We’d rather invest in immersive, multi-sensory moments that keep guests talking long after the lights go down.

Let’s shift the focus from star power to story power.
Experience is the new headline act. ✨

Planners are increasingly passing on celebrity speakers in favor of subject matter experts who deliver deeper value at lower cost. It’s a shift speaker As budgets tighten and return on investment comes under scrutiny, planners are rethinking the value of high-priced celebrity speakers.
