Marketing Evenings LDN:How Vox Media Tells Stories That Stick for Global Brands
Join us for a conversation with Brendan Mahony, Senior Strategy & Creative Director at Vox Media, as he shares how a philosophy of “Real-World Optimism” is shaping the future of branded storytelling.

In this session, Brendan Mahony unpacks how Vox Media uses a culturally grounded perspective to build brand narratives that are expansive, human, and built to last. Drawing on award-winning global campaigns for clients like HSBC, Unilever, and the European Commission, he’ll explore what it takes to craft stories that transcend markets and create real impact.
