World Leading Expert on Behavioral Economics, 3x The New York Times Bestselling Author, Psychology Professor, TED Speaker (USA)

As the king of irrationality, Ariely is coming to DK2024's main stage to show you real examples of how predictability, irrationality, emotions, and morality can be used in everyday life for creating ideas, improving communication, marketing, and sales. And why stop there: Ariely will try to set up his friend who has just divorced and is looking for a new girlfriend — hopefully showing us how his theories work firsthand.

Creative Director with 1000+ Industry Recognitions (Singapore)



 Hall AAA | Saturday | 11:50AM



When you look up Eugene Cheong, the first thing you notice on his website is the sentence: “I Hate Advertising.” We were immediately in love. And you will be too. Eugene Cheong is amongst a handful of creative pioneers who, in late 1980, set in motion what is known in the industry as the Asian Creative Revolution, which began in the iconic Ogilvy Singapore agency, before spreading north to Hong Kong, Thailand and India. 



Cheong’s 30-year career includes stints in Ogilvy Singapore, Ogilvy London and Batey Singapore with over 1000 industry recognitions to his credit, making him statistically Asia's most-awarded writer. How did he manage to stay so successful for three decades? By sticking to his mantra: “If you have nothing worthwhile, delightful, uplifting, encouraging, beautiful, thoughtful, edifying, funny, entertaining, useful, revelatory, provocative, inspiring, shocking, perspective-altering, eye-popping, molar-shaking, heart-wrenching or just plain amazing to say, then, please do all of us a favour and shut the hell up.”



The mantra seemed to work like a charm. He is a winner of tens of prestigious Cannes Lions, which got him the huge opportunity to be one of the Cannes Lions 2022 jury presidents. Steve Hayden, the former Vice-Chair and Chief Creative Officer of Ogilvy Worldwide, said that Eugene is perhaps the most brilliant communicator within Ogilvy since David Ogilvy himself. Neil French, Former Worldwide Chief Creative Officer of WPP, exclaimed that Eugene won more awards, more consistently for far longer than anybody else in Asia. He should be declared a national treasure. Perhaps, even a regional one. And that is why you listen to Cheong when you get the chance.

Day 3

Creative Director with 1000+ Industry Recognitions (Singapore)

Cheong knows that our job as advertisers is to make people feel something. Our job is to make people give a damn. Our job is to do something for people, and not, God forbid, expect people to do something for us. Only after a brand has generously served and given to people, will people ever consider listening to a single thing it says. And perchance, even come to not loathe its advertising. Summarised in a mathematical formula 10L x 30Y = >1000A, this talk will give you ten lessons Cheong has learned over 30 years that have helped him win over a thousand awards.

Head of Global Communications,&nbsp;Google DeepMind AI research lab &amp; ex-SpaceX, ex-Facebook (UK)



 Hall AAA | Thursday | 4:10PM



Imagine managing communications and public policy efforts for industry titans such as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Eric Schmidt, as well as Silicon Valley startups and the United Nations. Meet Dex Hunter-Torricke, who probably has the most impressive CV of any communicator ever. A former head of communications for SpaceX, Facebook’s first head of executive communications, Mark Zuckerberg’s personal speechwriter, and Google’s first executive speechwriter. Daaamn.



Even his beginnings weren’t that humble. Everything started in 2008 at the United Nations, where he served as a spokesperson and speechwriter for the office of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. If that weren’t impressive enough, he is also a New York Times bestselling ghostwriter and a frequent speaker on technology’s impact on society. It’s truly fascinating to hear him talk about lessons learned from playing chess with Mark Zuckerberg in the middle of the night, or the intimidating, singular question asked by Elon Musk in a job interview.&nbsp;



With more than a decade working at the heart of the technology industry, today Dex is head of global communications and marketing for Google DeepMind, one of the world's leading AI labs that is building the next generation of AI systems safely and responsibly. DeepMind is most famous for developing Gemini, Google’s AI multimodal large language model whose launch was preluded by months of intense speculation and anticipation — which MIT Technology Review described as "peak AI hype". At Google DeepMind Dex&nbsp;plays a critical role in writing the next chapter on science, tech, the economy, and society across the globe. We all know artificial intelligence will have a transformative impact on our society — and Dex is the perfect person to tell the story.

From sci-fi to hype, the road to the metaverse has seen an interesting and controversial journey. After short-lived projections of wealth, critics dismissed it as a mere fleeting trend, while the media prematurely declared its demise, leaving many to believe its destiny was sealed. However, beneath the surface, a fascinating convergence of technologies is quietly shaping the destiny of these brave new worlds. Would it be a dystopia or an abundance utopia? Will we be free or carry on the worst traits of surveillance capitalism? The future awaits and we might still have time to shape it. Join Micaela at DK2024 to discuss how we can do it together.

Fyre Festival, Founder (USA) 



Hall AAA | Saturday | 3PM



Deceit is not marketing — there is a clear line where marketing ends and deceit begins. Examples like Billy McFarland's infamous Fyre Festival make that line very clear, so it doesn't come as a surprise that it is even being academically studied in certain US business classes. Now it’s time for us to put our academic hat on and let Davor Bruketa interview Billy to see what we can uncover straight from the source. If you were living under a rock in 2017, let us remind you what happened to hundreds of partygoers who expected a once-in-a-lifetime experience at a festival endorsed by celebrities such as Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. What did they get? Disaster relief tents and emergency cheese slices.



After serving a prison sentence for wire fraud up until 2022, The Guardian described McFarland's actions by saying that, no matter how much we might loathe him, we as the audience are also enthralled by the scale of [his] delusions, and perhaps, by our own willingness to be taken in. Most of us at one time or another want to belong to something, and the lure of leadership of any kind can be hard to resist. This has proven true with the launch of Fyre Festival II — and the question here is not why tickets are back on sale. The question is why the early tickets are already sold out.



The world of marketing is full of similar examples that invite experts to study and critically examine them, granting us all powerful insight into how to progress the industry forward. In order to re-evaluate all of our preconceived notions of marketing and advertising, it is vital to ask ourselves: are the extremes of marketing and the hunger for sensationalism really necessary? Is McFarland a creator of turbulence or just a con artist? And, most importantly — why the hell are people choosing to place their trust in him once again?

Billy McFarland [VIRTUALLY ON STAGE]

Fyre Festival, Founder (USA) [interview with Davor Bruketa]


What is the secret to going viral, really? The case of Fyre Festival is a serious lesson to us all. Yes, we get inspired to build a better world by stories of the most creative campaigns in the world. And yes, we also gain invaluable knowledge from the intersection of marketing, deception and sensationalism. FUCK ADVERTISING, LOVE ADVERTISING, right? Well, we are not afraid to deliver both sides of the coin. We bring them to the stage (ok, virtual stage this time), confront them with open eyes, and dissect them to the most uncomfortable details. That's precisely why we invite you to DK2024 — to learn important marketing lessons from mistakes. So join us for an interview where Davor Bruketa will probe into McFarland, who will join us online, and one of the most infamous entertainment brands in the world.

Neuroscientist, Professor of Business (USA)&nbsp; 



Hall AAA | Saturday | 12:50PM



If Moran Cerf can teach the President of the USA how to decide on nuclear weapons launch (Cerf is literally the scientist who revised the nuclear launch protocol), he definitely can teach you how your customers make decisions. So it really doesn’t come as a surprise that the father of modern marketing Phil Kotler called him "the next leader in marketing" — Cerf’s unique research in decision-making, neuroscience in marketing and leadership has gained him worldwide recognition, resulting in some of the widely cited publications that positioned him at the forefront of neuroscience research.



His fascination with neuroscience began with performing security checks by hacking banks and government institutions. This was a tipping point for Cerf, who attributes much of his understanding of the brain and the way he researches to his time spent hacking banks, so he decided to start using hacking skills to study the most interesting vault in the world — our brain. That is why today Moran Cerf is globally known for his research on consciousness, free will, decision-making, neuroscience in marketing — and the ability to hack our brains using the most advanced neural monitoring system on the planet.



Cerf set up the first and only lab in the world where neurological activity is mapped by attaching electrodes deep inside the brains of patients awaiting surgery. His studies have shed light on how we make decisions and what steps others can take to influence those decisions, including predicting people’s interest and engagement with content by observing their neural responses.&nbsp; All of his interesting findings have been heard by millions of people across the globe who watched his famous TED Talks — because he holds the title of having the most TEDx talks worldwide.&nbsp;

Neuroscientist, Professor of Business (USA) 

In the last 10 years, neuroscientists have unleashed some technologies that stand to shake and shape the way we think, experience, and create. In his DK2024 talk, Moran Cerf will share 3 big ideas about how neuroscience can change the creative and media process now that we’re making ways to create ‘content for dreams’, so people can order dreams and companies will start creating ‘ads for dreams’. Join him to find out the behind-the-scenes of these cutting-edge advances, his work with some of the leading tech companies on implementing those in futurist neural implants, and the work he’s been doing with Hollywood on making the science accessible to everyone.

Founder of UNILAD and LADbible (UK)



 Hall AAA | Friday | 10:50AM A college dropout who wants to focus on his Facebook pages sharing viral videos. Must be a dream of every parent. Well, in the case of Alex Partridge, turns out it was a dream come true. He is renowned as the creator of two highly popular social media channels that have seen him reach over 1 billion people across the globe, UNILAD and LADbible, whose content covers a wide range of topics, including viral videos, memes, trending news, sports, pop culture and interviews with celebrities such as Keanu Reeves and Tom Holland.



He wasn’t always the trailblazer of social media content as we recognize him today. Back in 2010, at the tender age of 21, while presumably grappling with existential crises and term papers at Oxford Brookes University, he birthed, nurtured, and penned UNILAD into existence. This digital phenomenon became the paragon of social news and entertainment, boasting a fan base of over 120 million earthlings.



Fast forward to 2017, and Partridge found himself in a legal tango over UNILAD’s ownership – a tale of stakeholder drama and digital dreams. Spoiler alert: he emerged victorious, adding a legal triumph to his résumé. Branded a 'Facebook genius,' Partridge continued to innovate in the ever-evolving digital sphere. Beyond viral videos and memes, he utilized LADbible as a platform for social initiatives and awareness campaigns, showcasing a multifaceted approach to online influence.

King of Pranks, Author, Filmmaker (UK)



 Hall AAA | Friday | 5PM



That’s right. Oobah is coming back to DK2024 with a vengeance. If you weren’t lucky enough to meet him at DK2019, let us introduce you to the king of pranks himself. Oobah Butler is a lot of things. A #1 fake restauranteur. Paris Fashion Week’s top fake designer. The host of MTV’s Catfish UK. A bestselling LA Times author. And now he’s on some new bullsh*it with brand new pranks and updated content.



At the end of 2023, he broke the internet yet again while turning his attention to one of the world’s biggest corporations in his debut TV documentary, The Great Amazon Heist. The film broke international news, which unified people across the political spectrum, with the likes of Fox News saying it “exposes serious allegations about the tech giant’s corporate culture” while Wired claimed it “portrays a company that simply doesn’t seem to care."&nbsp;



With a combination of hardcore undercover reporting and Butler-patented stunts like creating an energy drink from Amazon drivers’ urine, listing it on their platform, and manipulating it to be a #1 product, this film was hailed in a 5-star review by The Daily Telegraph as an “ingenious exposé” — and a sign that Oobah Butler has matured without losing what has made his career so explosive to date.&nbsp;

Oobah Butler

Join Oobah Butler for this compelling story as he unravels The Great Amazon Heist project that was deemed "basically impossible" due to legal hurdles. But this veteran prankster did it and somehow made it work. We couldn’t make this up even if wanted to. So join him in Hall AAA because this talk offers a truly intimate look into Butler's Odyssey — a modern-day David facing the colossal challenge of taking on Goliath.

Legendary Creative and Designer, COLLINS (USA)



 Hall AAA | Friday | 4PM



They say lightning never strikes the same place twice. But Brian Collins of COLLINS, the transformation agency based in San Francisco and New York, hasn’t heard that old trope. In the last six years, COLLINS agency has won Agency of the Year honors six times, including being honored as the first "Business Transformation Agency of the Year" by Ad Age, while producing winning work across every category — and Brian Collins is beyond excited to be bringing that lightning to Croatia.



Before co-founding the renowned transformation agency with Leland Maschmeyer in 2008, Brian Collins was a creative director for Levi Strauss &amp; Co. at FCB/San Francisco and then moved to Manhattan to start the brand and innovation division of Ogilvy, where he worked as that team’s Chief Creative Officer for over ten years on iconic, global brands. So, what is it about COLLINS that makes them continually stand out from the pack? It concerns their unique philosophy: "[Design] is the bridge that gets us from where we are to where we want to be. It comes up with a thesis, an idea, or a premise about the future — and then it builds it out and makes it real." Or, as the COLLINS website now reads, "make the future so irresistible, it becomes inevitable."



This philosophy can be seen throughout the work done at COLLINS — which was not only named by Forbes as "One of the Companies Transforming the Future of Brand Building" but was also included on the list of "50 Companies Creatives Would Kill to Work For." This doesn’t come as a surprise when looking at their wild client list. If you know Twitch’s or Avon’s identity or Spotify’s global redesign — that was all done by the people at COLLINS, with the Spotify project being regarded as one of the most transformative brand systems by Design Week, Wired and Fast Company.

Brian Collins

Legendary Creative and Designer, COLLINS (USA)

Brian Collins believes that design lets you rehearse and change the future. But, people have a love/hate relationship with change. Not always in equal parts. So how do we get people excited about evolving into a new, better future state? "Seeing is believing”, as they say. This is the purpose of brand world-building. Thriving in this space of potential tomorrows, Brian Collins is coming to DK2024 to explore how COLLINS’ business transformation practice uses the past as an engine for their clients’ futures.

Pleasure Enthusiast, Sex Educator, Speaker, Author (UK)



 Hall AAA | Saturday | 4PM



If someone could enlighten you about the birds, the bees, and all the other critters involved, Ruby Rare is the one. As the epitome of fluid creativity, she is on a mission to inspire both individuals and brands to communicate more confidently and inclusively, challenging norms along the way. For Rare, conventions of communications aren’t meant to stagnate — it’s more fun to constantly refresh, reimagine, and shatter them.



Rare’s eccentric style permeates everything she does. I really love the idea of treating silliness seriously and treating serious stuff with a bit of silliness, she once said, encompassing two aspects that make Ruby so Rare: deeply playful and committed to her work. Focused on the topics of gender, sexuality and relationship styles, which are literally everywhere now, Rare is revolutionaising how we as communicators talk about these things without alienating our audience.



Through her work, Rare constantly challenges the notion that creativity and communications live in a closed box, particularly in realms of sex-ed, fluidity and gender-bending creativity, where society tends to hand us a heavy bag of shame. But this pink-haired creative and educator is one of the few who dare to open these dialogues and share them with worldwide audiences. We can say that makes her… a rare gem. We’ll see ourselves out.

Ruby Rare

Pleasure Enthusiast, Sex Educator, Speaker, Author (UK)

Ahead of the publication of her book on the topic, sex and relationships expert Ruby Rare shares tales and lessons from nine years of experience in non-monogamous relationships. Using this as a blueprint for exploring a path less travelled, Ruby will explore what the creative world can learn from less traditional relationship styles: reframing communication, harnessing community, and not being afraid to diverge from the norm.

Artist, Designer, Illustrator, Muralist, Author, Speaker (USA)



 Hall AAA | Friday | 3PM



From a kid from Ohio who barely graduated high school to (badly) painting houses for a living, Timothy Goodman is an award-winning designer who, against all odds, made it by expressing himself fully and authentically — leading him to design major murals in Williamsburg and work with global brands like Apple, Google, MoMa and Yves Saint Laurent. He is a true Artist with a capital A who uses his bold illustrations and graphic drawings to start important dialogues about the world we live in from a creative perspective.



His art was, well everywhere. If you have the February 2023 issue of Time magazine, you looked at Timothy’s cover. If you were in New York City and saw a garbage truck drive by covered in doodles, that was Timothy. If you hang out in trendy NYC hotels, that was Timothy’s art you saw in the lobbies. If you shop at Uniqlo and wanted to buy that cool graphic T-shirt, you’ve probably seen Timothy’s collection that sold 1 million units worldwide. So yes, it is very likely that you’ve seen Timothy’s art sometime or somewhere in your life.&nbsp;



From tackling topics like mental health and politics to celebrating love and heartbreak, Timothy's work is as diverse as it is impactful. He regularly partners with not-for-profit organizations and schools to create art for communities and schools in NYC as well as speaks on difficult topics such as heartbreak, manhood, and mental health around the world at creative conferences. Sometimes we need a reminder of what really matters — and Timothy’s design definitely does the trick.

Timothy Goodman

Artist, Designer, Illustrator, Muralist, Author, Speaker (USA)

Timothy Goodman is constantly trying to find meaning in his work. But what defines meaning? The greatest joy he has is the ability to connect to another human emotionally through his work. Whether he's drawing all over a basketball court for a school in Brooklyn, creating the cover of Time magazine, launching a shoe with Nike, or writing a graphic memoir, Timothy wants to start dialogues about difficult topics such as heartbreak, manhood, and mental health. Join Timothy on the DK2024 stage as he talks about how he’s trying to redefine what it means to work in this industry.
