The Power-Up Series is back – get ready for the 6th edition.

Share

This time of year can only mean one thing – MG Empower’s annual event, The Power-Up Series. Every year, we bring industry professionals together to hear from experts and famous brands about big ideas, topics and trends in the world of marketing.

This year, we’re super excited to announce the focus of this edition:

How to power-up your 2024 community building strategy with data and storytelling.

Across three jam-packed panels, we’ll be unpacking all aspects of this topic, leaning on the fundamentals of storytelling, co-creation, data and consumer experiences  – equipping you with the knowledge on how to effectively build brand communities in 2024.

But why is this topic important to you and your brand? Well, we’ve been keeping an extra close eye on the development of brand communities, helping to launch, build and monitor them for global brands along the way.

There’s been a huge shift in the development and establishment of these communities – like changes in purchase behaviour, engagement, cultural impact and trends. More and more we see a huge uplift in research into ‘community building’ – across all types of industries. 

It’s for this reason we feel like now is the perfect time to unpick this topic even further, making sure you’re perfectly equipped to navigate this landscape and know how to build and nurture relationships that drive impact way beyond social media engagement.

We’ve broken down the topic into three pivotal areas; panels include:

 

Panel 1  |  7:10pm

The Evolution of the Community Economy in the Data-Driven Era.

  • Andrea Cortes, Senior Innovation Manager – MG Empower
  • Sonya Gonzalez Mier, Author & former Global Account Manager at TikTok

 

Panel 2  |  7:50pm

What’s Next for Co-Creation and Storytelling?

  • Maira Genovese, Founder & CEO – MG Empower
  • Marta Biino, Reporter – Insider

 

Panel 3  |  8:30pm

Data, Tech and The New Age of Consumer Experiences.

  • Jonathan Aina, Head of Platform – MG Empower

 

More panellists revealed soon!

 

This year will be even more special as it’s the first time we’re opening our incredible HQ to the public, and as well as the insightful panels, we’ll be hosting a networking moment after the event – with cocktails and canapés on our central London rooftop, beautifully catered by our Brazilian partners Finotaste.

 

Wednesday, 1st November | 7pm-10pm

MG Empower HQ | 10-11 Clerkenwell Green, London, EC1R 0DP

AI Shopping and Black Friday 2026: Why Credibility, Not Choice, Will Close the Sale

Ask most brands what AI will change about Black Friday and you'll hear some version of the same story: the bots are coming for the basket. Shoppers will ask an assistant for the best deal, and the assistant will buy it for them.

The content is good, the creator is right, the engagement rate is respectable, and then the post simply stops reaching people, because every major platform's algorithm exists to keep users scrolling rather than to guarantee a brand's content finds its intended audience.

UGC and Social Commerce for Ecommerce Brands: What River Island’s Social Strategy Teaches.

There's a version of the UGC conversation that most ecommerce brands have had internally, and it usually goes wrong in the same place. Somebody points out that user generated content converts better than brand content. Somebody else points out that it's cheaper to source.

Brand Storytelling That Converts: The Content Framework Behind Highland Park’s 34 Million Impressions.

There's a specific kind of frustration that comes with a brand account that's doing everything right on paper. The photography is good. The posting cadence is consistent. The captions are on-brand. And the numbers stay stubbornly flat, month after month, while a competitor with worse production values somehow builds a following that actually talks back.
