Brand Magic Summit 2015 was a great experience of sharing and learning and meeting like-minded people who are hungry and restless to be better marketeers, brand-builders and storytellers.

Brand Magic Summit, in its concept, has helped to put in the limelight local brands and their strength, and is linked to local traditions and taste. It helps to raise the standard of the local creative side and build a culture of brand lifting.

Colvyn Harris, Founder Harris-Mint, India/Former JWT South Asia CEO (Speaker at the Brand Magic Summit 2017)

The Brand Magic 2019 was an excellent opportunity to listen to industry specialists from various countries as they shared their expertise and experience in branding. I also have to thank Mind Initiatives for graciously hosting some of our Business Communication students from the University of Mauritius. They all appreciated the chance given to them to learn from and network with international and local industry experts.

Christina Chan-Meetoo, Senior Lecturer in Media and Communication, Head of Mediacom Studio, University of Mauritius

Before we even started our travels to Mauritius for Brand Magic Summit 2018, we could feel the warm hospitality and phenomenal attention to detail that made our ultimate experience easy and productive. While the event was produced beautifully by Mind Initiatives and everything was top-notch, the opportunity for true interaction amongst our hosts and fellow speakers – in ways not normally afforded at conferences – made this one truly stand out.

Jonathan Tavss, Co-Founder & Director, Kaleidoko, UK and USA (Speaker at the Brand Magic Summit 2018)

This event is a great opportunity to stay updated with Branding and to meet Marketing passionate people during the day. It is also exciting to know the rating of the preferred local brands by Mauritians. Will be there for sure!

Emilie Foret, Head of Marketing & Communication, Exotic Group

A truly enriching experience. The points of view were diverse and thought provoking. I met individuals who are genuinely passionate about their fields and dedicated to making a purposeful difference through their brands and businesses.

Carla Enslin, National Academic Navigator, Vega School of Brand Leadership, South Africa (Speaker at the Brand Magic Summit 2016)

This yearly not-to-be-missed event really helps marketers from the Mauritian industry to elevate and bring their brands to the next level. In addition to exposing all the latest trends and international benchmarks, the renowned speakers who are invited to talk bring along their creative energy.

Shirin Gunny, Chief Operating Officer, Made in Moris

I have been invited to speak in 67 countries on 6 continents and I can honestly say that speaking at Brand Magic Summit was one of my highlights in my speaking career. The Brand Magic Summit had a profound impact of me showing what happens when positive, creative people come together.

Fredrik Härén, The Global Conference Speaker on Business Creativity, Change, and Global Mindset, Singapore (Speaker at the Brand Magic Summit 2017)

I was fortunate enough to be asked to attend and speak at the Brand Magic Summit; it’s a fantastic initiative aimed at raising the bar for creativity in the country, executed to a world-class standard. Even the smallest country, as we have seen many times at Cannes lions, can excel on a global level, but only if there are efforts like the Summit to help people learn, network and be inspired.

Philip Thomas, Chief Executive Officer and President, Ascential Events / Chairman, Cannes Lions (Speaker at the Brand Magic Summit 2016)

As if there is not enough that’s magical about Mauritius, in 2015, I was privileged to be part of the first Brand Magic Summit held there. I think of that as one of the better organized meets I have attended across the world. Three reasons make that so. Wonderful guest speakers, who are now friends. Wonderful hosts, who are now friends. Wonderful attendees, many of whom stay in touch.

Sumit Roy, Founder Director, Univbrands, India (Speaker at the Brand Magic Summit 2015)

I was impressed by the full auditorium for every speaker session and the quality of engagement. The festival organisers are extremely professional and detail oriented. This is a quality experience for both speakers and attendees alike.

Kerrie Finch, Founder, FinchFactor, Amsterdam & London (Speaker at the Brand Magic Summit 2018)

The experience at the Brand Magic Summit was exactly as the name suggests – magical and proficient. A magical venue in a magical place with magical people excited about learning and experiencing valuable knowledge.

Ravid Kuperberg, Partner, Mindscapes, Israel (Speaker at the Brand Magic Summit 2018)

Its been an honour to be part of the global speakers network that Mind Initiatives work with. The conferences are so well organised and always give great insights plus relevance to the ever changing world of branding.

Annicia Manyaapelo, Founder and Creative Director, Nich Luxury Africa and Executive Business Director, FCB Africa, South Africa (Speaker at the Brand Magic Summit 2017)

I was delighted to be invited to participate as a speaker in the inaugural Brand Magic Summit in Mauritius back in 2015. Both the attendance and the level of engagement from the delegates was impressive, not least for a first event and I was hosted magnificently by the Mind Initiatives team.
I can recommend the Brand Magic Summit to speakers, sponsors and most importantly to the senior executives, whether from marketing or other departments, of regional enterprises with hesitation.
