Geoff Renaud shared thisTwelve years of Invisible North. What a ride! 🔥 When Amber Ward and I started out, experiential was often an afterthought at the bottom of the marketing plan. Today, it sits front and center in how the world’s best brands build meaningful connections with their audiences, and attention is pouring into the space globally. We’ve always operated at the intersection of live experience, culture, and emerging technology, and now is the most exciting time to push that vision forward. We’re pioneering "New School Experience": our approach to bringing experiential into the future by creating narrative-driven, multi-channel, culturally connected work that’s built to live well beyond the moment. 2027 will be our biggest year yet, and we’re taking that thinking into new territory: expanding into building global conferences, growing our global AI work, and exploring new paths for consumer marketing. Twelve years in, and I’m more excited than ever about our future, our team, and what lies ahead. #invisiblenorth #experientialmarketing #globalevents #brandmarketing

Geoff Renaud reposted thisGeoff Renaud reposted thisEarlier this summer, I was back in Korea for the third time with Invisible North — this time working alongside the OpenAI team at [ICML] Int'l Conference on Machine Learning. We brought the booth to life, ran a series of well-attended programming sessions, handed out more swag than anyone could carry, and somehow survived another 12-hour time difference.

Geoff Renaud shared thisI'm super excited to welcome Rachel Ivanhoe to the Noun Agency team as our first-ever Head of Growth. This is a big win as we continue to double down on becoming global leaders in the creator marketing space. Rachel helped drive tremendous growth at WPP’s Village Marketing and has been at the forefront of the creator economy for years. She understands that the best creator work connects culture, content, and conversation to drive real business results. This is exactly the future we’re building at Noun, and we could not be more excited to have her on board to lead us into the future. #nounagency #influencermarketing #creatormarketing #winningGeoff Renaud shared thisWe’re excited to welcome Rachel Ivanhoe as Noun Agency’s first Head of Growth. Rachel joins us from WPP’s Village Marketing, where she led client growth and new business for major brands including T-Mobile, Chewy and HelloFresh. She’s spent the majority of her career focused on the creator space, giving her a deep understanding of how brands build meaningful partnerships with creators and how that work becomes connected to bigger business objectives. Her experience comes at an exciting time for Noun as we continue to expand our creator capabilities and deepen the way we connect creators and culture. We’ve never wanted to be the agency that simply owns one piece of the marketing equation. We believe brands need partners who can look across the consumer journey and connect creators, experiences, culture, content and conversation to solve bigger business challenges. Rachel will work closely with the team to help bring that model to more brands and shape the next stage of Noun’s growth. Welcome, Rachel. We’re very happy to have you with us. #InfluencerMarketing #CreatorEconomy #MarketingAgency

Geoff Renaud reposted thisHi Friends! This weekend, I celebrated 30 years in the live events business, and what a ride it’s been 🔥 I’ve had a passion for bringing people together since I was a kid, and I’m incredibly grateful to have made a career of it. • I left school early to follow my love of music and work on tours with Prince 💜 and the Grateful Dead 🌹💀⚡ • I met a guy named Paul who was starting a festival called Coachella in the middle of nowhere (that not many people went to) and decided it would be a good idea to go work for him. That decision became a 25-year journey and one of the defining relationships of my career. • I moved to New York and started an events agency called RADAR, my first time as an entrepreneur, experiencing both the highs and the lows of the Great Recession era. • I met Amber Ward when she was just beginning her career. Three years later, we started Invisible North and have built it into a global experiential powerhouse 💪 Today, I get to travel the world exploring the festivals, cities, and experiences shaping global culture. In the past 12 months alone, I’ve been at concerts, conferences, and festivals from Seoul and Mumbai to Kosovo and Buenos Aires, and everywhere I go, one thing is clear: people want to gather, connect, and experience live events together more than ever. I’ve seen some pretty crazy things, and I’m deeply grateful for the friends, family, and colleagues who have been with me on this long, strange trip 🫶 I’m especially thankful that I now get to share what I’ve learned and mentor the next generation that shares a passion for creating incredible experiences. Thirty years in, I’m as excited about this business as I’ve ever been. Here’s to the next 30 😉 #liveevents #experientialmarketing #invisiblenorth #careerstory

I’m grateful for the opportunity to help grow and evolve such an iconic brand & category leader, especially one that uses the power of real fruit to ‘give life some juice.’ 🍊 Massive thanks to my GetYourGuide colleagues who taught me what it takes to build a brand people trust with their precious vacation days. I'm so proud of what we built and I'll be cheering you on (and continuing to book many experiences). Looking forward to this next chapter -- returning to my beverage & midwest roots!

Geoff Renaud liked thisGeoff Renaud liked thisThe journey continues…..💨 I’m excited to share Merrell’s 3 year global storytelling partnership with Sundance Collab, alongside our role as Official Footwear Partner of the Sundance Film Festival, taking place in Boulder (2027) “It Starts Outside” is rooted in our belief that even the simplest moments outdoors can spark something meaningful. Through this partnership, filmmakers from around the world will bring to life real stories that capture the transformative power of the outside, what it unlocks in us, how it connects us and the many ways it can shape our lives. Championing creators and filmmakers means giving them the support and creative freedom to tell stories through their own lens. Their voices, experiences and perspectives are what bring authenticity to our platform. More than 1,200 filmmakers across 90 countries submitted ideas for our first program. Six have been selected to create original short films, and I’m looking forward to sharing their work. I remain proud of the squads Merrell continued work to bring It Starts Outside to life, special shout out to Jamie Benjamin 🙏🏽🦾 and grateful to our partners at Sundance Collab Sundance Institute for creating space for these stories! 🔥 More to come…. #Merrell #Marketing #ItStartsOutside #SundanceCollab https://lnkd.in/gB8UB6_UEXCLUSIVE: Inside Merrell’s Major New Deal With SundanceEXCLUSIVE: Inside Merrell’s Major New Deal With Sundance

Geoff Renaud liked thisGeoff Renaud liked thisI’ve worked with animals for the last 11 years, and during that time, I’ve been fortunate enough to make an impact on the lives of so many of them. But spending this past week in South Korea made me realize something I don’t think I’ve fully appreciated until now: the animals have changed my life just as much (if not more) than I’ve changed theirs. It’s easy to get caught up in the work, the deadlines, and everything that needs to get done, and sometimes we forget to stop and appreciate the beautiful moments along the way. Until you look back. When I started this journey 11 years ago, I would’ve told you that you were crazy if you said one day I’d be helping rescue dogs from the South Korean dog meat trade. Yet somehow, every clinic, shelter, animal, and experience along the way led me to Humane World for Animals and ultimately to this moment. The love and resilience these dogs carry, even after humans tried to break them, is something I’ll never forget. They reminded me that change doesn’t happen overnight. It happens because people care enough to keep showing up, keep fighting, and keep believing that things can be different. I came to South Korea thinking I was here to help change the lives of these dogs. I’m leaving realizing just how much they’ve changed mine. 🐾❤️

Geoff Renaud liked thisGeoff Renaud liked thisNew chapter! I'm moving to Chevrolet as Global Marketing Director. Before anything else, thank you to the Buick and GMC team and dealer network. You set records, launched a new flagship truck, and we did it all through a year of real change. I'm forever proud of what we built together. The brand standards behind the Denali, AT4, ST, and Avenir sub-brands, the exponential Super Cruise growth, and a whole bunch of amazing vehicle launches. I learned way more from you than I brought. Onward and upward to an iconic American brand with the biggest portfolio, widest range of customers, and highest expectations. Can’t wait to get to work with this team and build Chevrolet’s future together. #IWorkForGM

Geoff Renaud liked thisGeoff Renaud liked thisI am playing catch up - BIG TIME! Between the whirlwind spring and summer selling season, many trips to MN, many houseguests... I have been remiss in making our donations with each closing. So for the next couple of weeks I am going to be doing TWO CLOSINGS = TWO DONATIONS!! As a reminder... with every real estate transaction successfully closing, I will either pay the expenses for any client of ours to adopt a new pet, or if the time is not right for them to adopt a pet, I will make a $200 donation in their name at Denver Animal Shelter. So, if you or someone you know needs a realtor AND loves animals, I am your girl!

Geoff Renaud liked thisGeoff Renaud liked thisF*CK IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE. My favorite motto is back. And this week it cut both ways. Last weekend, as we all know — a nor'easter wiped out Global Citizen, All Things Go and CBGB Fest. Global Citizen pulled the plug the day before, first time in 14 years. If you've never worked on a show, you don't know what that call feels like. It feels like grief. Months of work. The crew, the vendors, the talent, the steel already sitting on the Great Lawn. And you walk away because it's the right thing to do. Big love to DONE+DUSTED and every single agency that worked on that one. Making the hard call is the job, too. Then Sunday night, the flip side. Yung Lean and GENER8ION closed the VMAs with "Storm II" and I haven't stopped thinking about it. I was already pre-obsessed with that video. But to say: F*ck it, let's do it live was CRAZY. High stakes. In front of that room — plus the rest of us who happened to not change the channel after the football game. ICYMI: Ma dude grabs a Moon Person backstage ... smashes it on stage ... walks into a sea of schoolboys ... and they rebuild the romain gavras mesmerizing video in real time. Damien Jalet's choreography. Restaged by Max Cookman. No second takes. No fixing it in post. Then Yung Lean spits blue ice cream into the camera. I mean. COME ON. A storm killed the weekend. "Storm" saved it. Doing it live is the most terrifying (and most creative) thing we can do. It's also the only thing that still gives people goosebumps. Real life. Still undefeated. https://lnkd.in/gF6nExYQGENER8ION feat. Yung Lean Perform "STORM" | 2026 VMAsGENER8ION feat. Yung Lean Perform "STORM" | 2026 VMAs

Getting to sit alongside legends like Barbara Corcoran, Kevin O'Leary, Daniel Lubetsky and Lori Greiner and evaluate entrepreneurs pitching their businesses was a genuinely surreal experience.

Hollywood’s new era is here—and it is a $111 billion shift. I just shared a breakdown on my company page about how the Paramount acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, backed by a $24 billion joint commitment from the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) and its partners, is safeguarding the future of cinema. • Theatrical-First: This deal represents a philosophy that ensures characters like Superman and Batman continue to live on the biggest screens possible with the production budgets they deserve. • Impact on Fandom: For the community in Riyadh and Jeddah, this is the guarantee that the DC Comics is in hands that value its cinematic scale. Check out the full video in the post below and let’s discuss what this means for the global entertainment industry! 👇 #ParamountWBD #SaudiPIF #Vision2030 #DCUniverse #GlobalMedia
