Accelerate at Marvel Stadium

Sarah, buyers have stopped engaging the old playbooks. Paid is getting more expensive per conversion, cold outbound is filtered, and trust has moved into ecosystems: buyers act on the word of the partners and platforms they already rely on. The demand channel shifted, and most marketing budgets have not followed.

Accelerate (Marvel Stadium, 28 October) is one day on the marketing motion replacing it. The benchmark session shows where partner-influenced demand should sit; the roundtables get specific on co-marketing and co-built assets, which convert at multiples of broadcast webinars.

For a CMO it is the clearest view you will get of ecosystem-led demand generation, from marketers already running it.
