We’re back with another Cool People Saying Smart Things event, and this time, we’re diving into the biggest trends shaping digital media, branding, content strategy, and AI.

If you’ve been to one of our past events, you know what to expect—smart insights, meaningful conversations, and a chance to connect with some of the best minds in the industry (plus, good coffee).

Event Details

📅 Date: April 2025
📍 Location: Somerhaus, Cincinnati

Meet the Speakers

We’ve curated a lineup of industry experts who will share insights you can use right away:

  • John Crenshaw – Digital Media Trends (paid, organic, and beyond)
  • Emily Flannery – Brand Insights
  • Seth Tanner – Content Strategy
  • Helen Todd – AI & Creativity

Each speaker will share three smart insights on their area of expertise, giving you actionable takeaways to apply to your business, marketing strategy, or creative work.

What You’ll Learn

This event is all about real-world insights and practical strategies. Topics include:

  • The latest in digital media and how to maximize impact across paid and organic channels
  • How brands evolve to stay relevant and create lasting connections
  • Strategies for building engaged communities and fan-driven content
  • How AI is transforming creativity and what it means for marketers, brands, and artists

We’ll also bring back our popular 3 Truths and AI game, where AI generates a fake fact about each speaker, and attendees vote on which one isn’t real.

Why You Should Attend

  • Hear real insights from industry leaders
  • Get actionable takeaways you can apply immediately
  • Meet cool, smart people in a relaxed and welcoming setting
  • Enjoy a great venue, good coffee, and engaging conversations
