Confirmed Lineup

The four debates

Every debater takes one side of one motion. Every seat in the room is a vote before and after. No fence-sitting.

  1. "Brand and performance are distinct" VS "It's one continuum of human behavior"
  2. "Brands should in-house more" VS "Brands overestimate what they can handle in-house"
  3. "MMM is dead" VS "Long live MMM!"
  4. "The big idea in creative matters most" VS "Personalization matters most"
How it works

The format

Before

The room votes cold.

Every seat picks a side before either debater speaks. That's the starting line.

The debate

Eight experts. One motion.

Focused arguments, tight rebuttals, hard questions. No panels, no fluff.

After

The room votes again.

Whichever side moves the most people wins. Not the loudest, the most persuasive.
