Think Summit is an annual event hosted by Movable Ink focused on providing practical advice, strategy, and inspiration to loyalty, CRM, and digital marketers. Hosted in New York City, the event attracts attendees from all industries representing some of the world’s most innovative brands.

In-person. And much (MUCH) bigger.

After almost three years of virtual events, Think Summit is back and bigger than ever.

With over 500 attendees, 40+ speakers, and multiple content tracks hosted over 2 days in New York City, our 2022 Think Summit has been the most successful event to date; driving brand engagement while showcasing product innovation and connecting leading marketers across all industries.

An in-depth look behind the scenes unveils the cumulative herculean effort from events, marketing, production, and brand teams spread across the globe to orchestrate our first in-person event since the start of the pandemic in 2020.

The Brand

In preparation for our largest in-person event to date, our primary objective for the Think Summit 2022 brand identity was to remain true to our newly-evolved Movable Ink brand while encompassing the evocative, yet approachable nature of technology, magic, and innovation resulting in the development of an event brand kit that would act as a versatile and diverse visual system.

The venue plays a big part in the development of the visual language, and as we had selected The Glasshouses, NYC to be our venue, it offered plenty of branding opportunities we weren’t previously afforded at past venues. Some of these include a massive 20 foot stage design, fully customizable in-house lighting system, vast event space with skyline views of New York city and the Hudson River, to name but a few.

The Big Reveal

Historically every Think Summit event includes the announcement of Movable Ink’s greatest technological advancements while celebrating the partner eco-system and reviewing client use cases. This year was no different.

Introducing, Human-Centered Marketing.

“Imagine a world where you don’t have to guess what’s on the mind of your customer.
Where you go beyond understanding what they’ve done to anticipating what they need; and use these insights to tailor an experience that feels timely, personal, and useful.
Then, scaling this personal touch to the millions of people you communicate with.”

Meet, Da Vinci. A Marketing AI that helps you form deeper relationships that last a lifetime.
