    About the Speaker:

    Adam Vazquez is a 2x entrepreneur, marketing leader, and Cannes Lion Finalist... But he didn't feel like any of that when he got laid off 2 months into his first agency role as the result of a criminal investigation of the agency's owner. After being laid off, Adam determined he'd never rely on someone else's behavior to control his career. This led him to VaynerMedia, a renowned marketing agency, where he honed his skills and learned the ropes of the industry. His hard work and determination paid off, culminating in his recognition as a Cannes Lion Finalist—an extremely rare achievement, especially for a strategist.

    In this talk, Adam Vazquez will delve into the heart of the creative field, a realm fraught with potential pitfalls, political tensions, and relentless competition. He'll share his personal experiences and the strategies he employs to thrive in this environment.

    Key takeaways from Adam's presentation will include:

    • Generalists > Specialists
    • How to Build Multiple Income Streams
    • Doubling Down on Your Unique Value
