The 12th Edition of the World Marketing Congress brought some of the bright minds in branding, strategy, and innovation together under one powerful theme: The Rise of Sustainable, Purpose-Driven Marketing. Held on November 18th in Mumbai, the event explored how marketing is evolving beyond performance metrics to reflect responsibility, ethics, and long-term value creation.
For Trackier, being part of this gathering was an exciting opportunity to engage with leaders shaping the future of modern marketing- where sustainability isn’t just a message, but a mindset.
A Moment of Pride — Recognition for Leadership
One highlight of the evening was a proud moment for the Trackier and Apptrove community:
Udit Verma, Co-founder & Chief Marketing Officer received the “Fabulous Marketer Award.”
His recognition reinforces a shared belief across our organization: marketing can be profitable, scalable, and still deeply rooted in meaningful purpose.
Purpose as the New Metric for Success
A recurring message throughout the conference was clear: Purpose-driven marketing is now non-negotiable.
Brands today are expected to stand for something beyond products. Whether addressing climate responsibility, inclusivity, or ethical innovation, values now influence buying decisions as strongly as pricing, visibility, or convenience.
AI-Powered Personalization With Responsibility
Another key conversation focused on AI-driven personalization. With vast amounts of consumer data and intelligent automation, the industry is shifting toward hyper-tailored experiences that are delivered responsibly, ethically, and with transparency.
It’s no longer about reaching audiences; it’s about relevance, timing, and emotional context.
Simplicity Wins: Less Jargon, More Impact
A standout theme this year: Simplicity in marketing strategy.
Amid algorithms, platforms, and acronyms, clarity is power. Messages that are human, concise, and intuitive outperform complexity especially in cluttered digital environments.
The future belongs to brands that communicate with honesty and simplicity instead of a lot of buzzwords.
Collaboration as the Accelerator
Panels also spotlighted the rise of strategic partnerships and ecosystem thinking. Collaboration across industries, brands, creators, platforms, technology partners, and even consumers has become essential for scaling sustainable marketing practices.
