Skills and Tools Marketers Need to Win in 2026

Building Brand Power from Day One

Many of the challenges marketers face today are symptoms of a deeper issue: marketing is brought in too late—often after products are already built. This disconnect between product, brand, and go-to-market thinking keeps brand and marketing stuck as downstream functions.

In this keynote, author and brand strategist Lifang He reveals why the most successful companies build brand power into a product’s DNA from day one. You’ll learn how to move upstream to influence early product decisions, lead cross-functional teams, and build better products and customer experiences that truly win hearts and minds in an AI-driven world.
