6:30 PM Digital DUMBO #21 - Good vs. Evil: BBMG’s Big Brand Showdown
This world is made up of two kinds of brands. First, there are those that are full of sugar and spice and everything nice. They’re amazing to employees. Their visual identities kick ass. They have armies of loyal followers constantly buzzing about them online. And, with everything going on, they still find the time to drive positive social change or help protect the environment. You know…the real goody-goodies.
Then, we have the dirty, rotten, no-good scoundrels. They try to convince you they’re one of the good guys and hope you don’t see through their antics. They’re always making inauthentic claims or trying to boost their image with stick-on cause marketing. They couldn’t engage a consumer to save their own lives. They run and hide at the first whiff of a challenge or crisis. Join BBMG at the Dumbo Loft, where we’ll pit the good brands against the bad brands and only the strong will survive.
6PM Obliterati Spook-a-nanny
Halloween's not till Sunday - but the spookiness of the season will reach its peak on Thursday, Oct. 28th, when New York's most glittering, self-obliterating literati convene their coven at Sweet and Vicious for Obliterati: Spook-a-Nanny.
No costumes are required, though you might feel safer with a disguise, the better to ward off apparitions such as Nick McGlynn, who will swoop in from Los Angeles for the ghoulish occasion.
