The CMO's Guide to Growth 2026

Marketing leaders are being pushed to squeeze more from short-term, high-intent tactics—often at the expense of future demand. This half-day summit reframes the playbook with seven levers that turn performance into growth, so you can escape the doom loop of chasing the same customers with diminishing returns.

Hosted at Watershed in Bristol, the program mixes research-backed strategy with practical, operator-level techniques—plus a keynote from Reddit on building long-term trust in niche communities. Highlights also include measurement guidance with insights from Converge and hands-on discussions led by Launch’s data, experimentation, and paid media leads.

If you attend, you will:

• Learn the seven growth levers and how to apply them to performance media and budgeting—without starving brand demand.
• Understand the new brand-discovery landscape and how to connect across fragmented digital journeys.
• Get keynote insights from Reddit on engaging authentically with communities to compound brand equity.
• Strengthen measurement for 2026 (tracking, analytics, and signal strategy) with practical input from Converge.
• See how teams turn uncertainty into opportunity using experimentation programs—then pressure-test ideas in roundtables.
• Leave with plug-and-play frameworks you can activate immediately across paid, creative, and data workflows.

Expect a concise schedule (coffee arrival, keynote, focused sessions, lunch, and peer roundtables) designed for maximum signal in minimal time. The vibe is friendly and candid—built for decision-makers who want evidence, not fluff. A portion of ticketing is aligned with a charity donation, continuing Launch’s community ethos.

Whether you manage eCommerce growth, lead a brand portfolio, or own performance P&L, this summit shows how to make performance your growth engine in 2026.
