BrandStorytelling at MIPCOM

The days of interruptive ads are behind us. Today’s brands create content that informs, entertains, and truly connects with audiences. This is sparking deeper collaboration among advertisers, agencies, media partners, and creators.

 

Join us for the BrandStorytelling Summit on Monday, October 13, and Tuesday, October 14, for a dynamic summit designed to:

 

  • Unite brands, digital content creators, and television executives.
  • Foster the nurturing, production, and funding of innovative brand-led stories.
  • Provide valuable opportunities for showcases, networking, and deal-making.

We are proud to partner with BrandStorytelling - an organization founded by acclaimed producer, publisher, and media entrepreneur Rick Parkhill. Dedicated to supporting, educating, and inspiring brand-funded content. This independent organization unites a vibrant community of brands, directors, agencies, content studios, and platforms to celebrate creative content and nurture the next generation of brand storytellers. Building on a decade-long legacy and a standout partnership with the Sundance Film Festival, past editions have attracted 450+ leading practitioners from global brands (Ancestry, L’Oréal Paris, PepsiCo), top platforms (WBD, Meta, YouTube) and cutting-edge creators (Sean Evans, Rhett & Link).

Through our collaboration, we aim to bring these two worlds together to celebrate innovative storytelling and unlock fresh opportunities for new funding, co-production, and distribution deals for brand-led stories.
