Global Speaker Rockstar & King of Transformation | ex-Creative Director, DDB, Ogilvy, BBDO (Austria)
Hall AAA | Friday | 5PM
Nobody owns the stage like Dietmar Dahmen. As a former Creative Director at DDB, Executive Creative Director at Ogilvy, and Chief Creative Officer at BBDO, he’s basically been on every high-profile marketing team you’ve ever heard of. But it’s what he brings to the stage that makes him unforgettable. While touching the heart and moving the mind, Dietmar always puts on a show, rides the sharks of change, destroys the pillows of comfort, fights the fear of transformation, and inspires courage to embrace the new.
And no, we are not speaking in metaphors. Once he rode onto the stage on an electric motorbike while at another festival he literally destroyed some pillows with a real chainsaw (all to symbolize killing your comfort zone, naturally). We can say Dietmar Dahmen is like the turbo-charged GPS of the business world, guiding you through the future with a mix of humor, energy, and, of course, a touch of chaos.
As the founder and managing director of Dietmar Dahmen Brainkicks GmbH as well as a world-renowned speaker, author, and coach, Dietmar’s mission is to help businesses embrace change, take risks, and see the opportunities hiding in plain sight. He’s not just here to tell you about the future; he’s here to make you want to be part of it. Oh, did we mention you can expect a spectacular show? We think we didn’t.
Diethmar Dahmen: Business is a Fight Club
Get ready for a bit of creative destruction. There are no comfort zones when Dietmar Dahmen takes the stage. In this high-voltage session, he’ll rip through the latest in customer-centric success, the ever-morphing marketing multiverse, and the chaotic beauty of constant change. If you love fresh ideas, unexpected business opportunities, and a crash course in building teams that won’t just survive the future, but own it — Dietmar is definitely your guy. And because talk is cheap, he’ll prove his point in ways only he can. Let’s just say… some of our ideas will get put to the test. Which ones will make it out unscathed? That’s for you to find out.
