Is your brand living off performance-marketing sugar hits? If your marketing plan looks more like a bowl of Skittles than a balanced meal – packed with SEM, PPC, and CTR – it might be time to rethink your diet, starting at State of Social ’25 with Chapter’s Dean Hunt and Hannah Muirhead.
Meet the brandtastic Hannah Muirhead and Dean Hunt
Hannah and Dean are the founding partners of Chapter, a new hybrid strategic and creative agency for ambitious brands. They know a thing or 100 about building brands – they’ve been doing it for decades for brands like Nike, Coca-Cola, Arnott’s, Toyota, Bankwest, RAC and Tourism WA.

- how to shift from campaign thinking to long-cycle brand building
- where performance marketing fits — and how to supercharge it with a strong brand
- how to sell brand investment and creative storytelling to even the most ROI-obsessed CFO
