Quick! Tell us a compelling story — a soup-to-nuts story — that includes the main character, plot, conflict and conclusion. Easy right? Now do it in under five minutes.
That’s what Rápido is all about. Rápido, the Spanish word for “rapid,” is our annual high-octane event that challenges presenters to share an innovative campaign in under five minutes, using no more than 20 slides.
This year, we’ve invited a wide range of professionals to talk with us about a winning campaign, its strategy, results and lessons learned.
Below is the list of presenters, their companies and their topics.
