The event is the biggest such event in the UK designed for brands that want to put customers and employees at the heart of their business.

Andrew Seel, CEO, Qube Media, said: “This is a new, tech-driven and innovative area in digital marketing but it’s based around word-of-mouth marketing which is the oldest kind of marketing in the world.

“Guests at the summit will explore, learn and discover how to unleash the power of your best customers and employees.

“We’ll have some of the biggest UK brands and international industry thought leaders in the room looking at ways to transform marketing for the modern buyer, radically improve the customer experience and drive sales.

“We’re really excited as it’s going to be a great day by the sea.”

The one-day event will feature Brighton-based expert speakers such as Adrian Swinscoe, bestselling author on customer experience, and and Pete Jenkins, Gamification+ Ltd and entrepreneur in residence at University of Brighton.
