Jamie Bryan is the co-founder and CEO of Sayge, a New York-based platform that democratizes 1:1 professional coaching, taking a perk once reserved for executives and making it available to employees at every level. After 13 years running relationships for global brands at agencies like Ogilvy and Digitas, a single life-changing coaching experience in 2016 sent him in a new direction. He launched Sayge in 2017 under the banner 'Coaching For The Rest Of Us,' and has since built it into a company that has delivered tens of thousands of coaching sessions across dozens of organizations, raising $1.7M in seed funding in 2021.

Sumaira Mirza is the Executive Creative Director at Ogilvy Pakistan, one of the country's most decorated advertising creative leaders with over two decades of experience across WPP and Publicis Groupe networks.

In 2024, she became only the second Pakistani ever selected for the Effies Global Best of the Best jury.

Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman of Ogilvy UK and behavioral economics provocateur, delivers a characteristically contrarian set of predictions for 2026. He argues that AI will initially be weaponized by tech companies and consultants as a cost-reduction tool — what he calls the 'doorman fallacy' — stripping out human value while claiming efficiency wins. Drawing on the Austrian vs. Chicago schools of economics, the history of the electric motor, and a devastating critique of self-checkout tills, Sutherland maps out three phases of AI adoption and ends with a rallying cry to marketers: stop selling what you do, and start selling how you think.
