Brandweek 2026, you were AMAZING. ✨ I was beyond honored to be selected as a Brandweek Ambassador this year and it's all thanks to ADWEEK and Creator Tea Talk.

Here are a few of my favorite moments from my first Brandweek, in no particular order. ⬇️
  
- Chatting with the Mattel, Inc. CMO and trying to convince him the world (aka me) needs a Social Media Manager Barbie 👠

- Attending the Brandweek Soiree and seeing Keri Hilson perform "The Way I Are" live, almost 20 years after it went triple platinum on my pink iPod nano 🎧

- Hearing Ben Cohen and Bernice King speak on the importance of never, ever losing sight of your values 📢

- Getting a little teary watching the new Simon Property Group campaign with Tyra Burton, MSM 🛍️

- And most importantly, finally meeting Jayde and my fellow Brandweek Ambassadors IRL! 💜

I've been inspired by Jayde I. Powell since the #MarketingTwitter days (lol throwback) and she is truly an icon. 💜 Her vision for creating this cohort and the support from the ADWEEK team was incredible.

As an Ambassador, I felt like I was walking into my first ever Brandweek with 21 other marketing and creator besties. This group was SO MUCH FUN and I loved the diversity of talent, expertise, and experience in our members. Let's do this again sometime, I hear we're heading to Texas next year! 🤠
