    The Data Foundation Behind the Next Creative Leap

    Birgitte Jöhncke, CEO Accutics/ Ex-Google 

    AI is no longer just changing how brands create content. It is redefining how they design, deliver, and measure every brand experience. The real opportunity is not simply to produce more. It is to create interactions that feel sharper, more personal, more relevant, and more alive at every touchpoint.

    In this session, Birgitte will explore how better tagging, connected data, and smarter marketing infrastructure can unlock the next generation of AI-powered content creation, agentic workflows, intelligent personalization, and high-impact customer journeys.
