About the Event

Marketing Kingdom Malta

Malta's Biggest Gathering of International Marketing Professionals

We're back. Now in its sixth year, Marketing Kingdom Malta brings together 200+ senior marketers, communicators, and digital disruptors from across Europe for one island, one day of the conversations that actually move the needle. It isn't another conference circuit stop — it's where the people building tomorrow's marketing playbook compare notes before the rest of the industry catches up.

11 March 2027. Malta. The room where it happens.

Who's Taking the Stage

Real marketers, from real brands, solving the same problems you are — plus a few names you'll be glad you knew first:

  • Frank Ravanelli — VP of Affiliates & AI Marketing at FOREO, the beauty-tech brand behind the LUNA and BEAR devices. He's building an AI-native marketing team from the inside out.
  • Peter Harris — Head of Content at TUI, one of the world's largest travel groups. His take: what AI still can't do in marketing, and why that's your edge.
  • Adam Clyne — CEO of Coolr, the organic-social platform built for a world where the algorithm changes every quarter. He'll show you how to build loyalty anyway.
  • Yana Sirenko — EU Channel Partners Marketing Lead at Samsung Electronics, cutting through the noise on data, privacy, and measurement that actually holds up.
  • Jo Darby & Neha Oberoi — the social team behind National Highways. Yes, the roads authority. Their account regularly out-performs brands with ten times the budget — they'll tell you how.
  • Mel Barfeld — Managing Partner & Brand Voice Lead at Copy Or Die, an award-winning copywriter making the case that voice is the one asset your competitors can't rip off.
  • Giuseppe Baidoo — Founder & CEO of Snack Gusto, who grew an 8-million-strong organic audience on a near-zero budget using nothing but guerrilla marketing and community.
  • Matt Stevenson — Co-Founder of MADE IT, who's turned short-form video into 100M+ views and $1M+ in organic-only revenue for the brands he's worked with. He'll break down what's actually converting attention into sales right now — not what peaked two algorithm updates ago.

What You'll Learn

Every session on the agenda is built around a real challenge marketers are facing right now:

  • How to actually build an AI-native marketing team — not just bolt AI onto your existing workflow.
  • Where AI still can't replace your judgment — and how to use that as your edge, not a gap to apologize for.
  • How to keep building loyalty on organic social as algorithms keep shifting — a repeatable approach, not a one-off viral hit.
  • How to prove marketing ROI without third-party cookies — practical first-party data and measurement approaches that hold up under scrutiny.
  • How an "unglamorous" brand builds a genuinely loved social presence — the tactics behind an account that out-performs brands with ten times the budget.
  • Why brand voice is the one asset competitors can't copy — and how to keep it consistent as it flexes across platforms and touchpoints..
  • How to grow an audience from zero without a media budget — the guerrilla, community-led tactics behind an 8-million-strong organic following.
  • How to turn short-form video into actual revenue — the tactics converting attention into sales right now, not the ones that peaked two algorithm updates ago.

Beyond the Hype: Building an AI-Native Marketing Team for 2027

Most "AI-native" marketing teams are really just old org charts with a few new tools bolted on. Frank breaks down what actually changes when you build a team around AI from the ground up — based on his professional experience maximising affiliate and performance marketing efficiency and effectiveness around results, with AI-driven workflows: the importance of human in the loop, which new roles emerge, which change, how dynamics shift when campaigns run semi-autonomously, and how to hire and upskill for a function that barely existed two years ago.

The Human Edge: What AI Still Can't Do in Marketing

As AI tools take over more of the marketing production line — from copy drafts to campaign optimization — the brands that stand out are the ones that know exactly where to stop automating. Drawing on his experience leading content for one of Europe's largest travel brands, Peter explores what still requires a human hand in marketing: reading cultural nuance across dozens of markets, building trust around a big-ticket, emotionally loaded purchase like a holiday, and knowing when a "good enough" AI-generated asset actually undermines a brand's voice. This session makes the case for a deliberate division of labor between AI and human marketers — and offers a practical framework for deciding, campaign by campaign, which parts of the job to keep firmly in human hands.

Peter Harris, Head of Content, TUI

Cutting Through the Noise: Data, Privacy & Measurement in 2027

Marketing measurement and privacy are being rewritten at the same time. This session covers what's changing across five fronts: life after third-party cookies and the first-party data strategies that actually work; proving ROI in an AI-driven marketing world; cross-channel attribution and cutting through the noise; building a zero-party data strategy consumers trust; and marketing under Europe's privacy rules — GDPR, the AI Act, and what's next.

Finding Your Voice: Brand Voice as a Competitive Edge Across Every Touchpoint

In a market where AI can write anything, a distinct brand voice is one of the few things a competitor can't copy. Award-winning copywriter Mel Barfeld (Managing Partner & Brand Voice Lead, Copy Or Die) makes the case for treating brand voice as a strategic asset, not a style guide afterthought — and shows how it has to flex and adjust across platforms and touchpoints without losing what makes it recognisable. Mel will unpack what a genuinely distinct voice does for brand narrative and trust, why it matters more (not less) as AI reshapes content production, and how it plays out in the messy reality of organic social, where tone has to survive translation into a dozen different formats a day.

Getting Weird: "Should the social team really be posting that?" And other concerns...

There's loads of information out there about what you should be doing in social media, but a lot less around how to make it happen, especially when you work in a large, traditional organisation where social media may be misunderstood and attitudes towards it less than favourable.

In our session, we tell you everything we've learned about changing attitudes, fostering creativity and getting people to get social, so you can create the content you want and the content that delivers.

Organic Social in 2027: Building Loyalty When Algorithms Keep Changing

Every time a platform tweaks its algorithm, brands that built their following on reach alone start from zero — but the ones with genuine audience loyalty barely notice. As CEO of Coolr, a social-first agency running always-on content and creator programs for brands across London and New York, Adam has watched hundreds of campaigns live and die by platform whims. This session moves past the chase for viral reach and into what actually survives algorithm updates: community, trust, and a content strategy built around people rather than the feed. Adam shares Coolr's framework for building organic social programs that compound in value over time instead of resetting with every platform change.

Community-Led Growth: Why Your Best Marketing Channel Is Your Own Audience

Forget the big-budget playbook — Giuseppe Baidoo (Founder & CEO, Snack Gusto) built a brand and an engaged following from zero using nothing but guerrilla marketing, reaching over 8 million people organically on a near-zero budget. In this unfiltered founder session, Giuseppe shares what actually moves the needle when you don't have a media budget to fall back on: why your existing audience is your most under-used growth channel, how community and word-of-mouth outperform paid reach when done right, and the scrappy, high-creativity tactics that let a challenger brand punch far above its weight.

Short-Form Video and the Attention Economy: What's Working Now

Matt has spent his career turning short-form video into revenue, not just reach, helping businesses generate over $1M using organic social content alone. Having trained 150+ companies on social strategy, from emerging brands to internationally recognised names, he cuts through the vanity-metrics noise to show what's actually converting attention into sales right now. Expect a practical breakdown of the tactics working today — not the ones that peaked two algorithm updates ago — and a clear-eyed look at why chasing views without a strategy behind them can quietly kill sales.
