THEME: CHAOS
State of Social ’21 reflected an industry navigating uncertainty and constant change. Australian and international speakers shared perspectives on strategy, creativity, culture, and digital marketing in a world where the rules were anything but stable.
This was the year we stopped trying to control the noise and instead learned how to work within it. As platforms fractured, attention spans shortened, and change accelerated, CHAOS explored what it really takes to operate in a volatile digital environment.
Speakers unpacked how uncertainty, speed, and disruption can become strategic advantages rather than obstacles. The program showed that for brands willing to adapt quickly and think clearly, chaos is not something to fear. It is often where the strongest ideas, sharpest strategies, and most resilient businesses are formed.
