Bonin Bough may someday get tired of his name being paired with Oreo’s real-time “You can still dunk in the dark” tweet. Yet there’s probably not a person in marketing who doesn’t acknowledge that Oreo set the social media bar with that now-famous tweet during the blackout at the 2013 Superbowl.

It’s just one reason we’re thrilled to announce that Bough, vice president of global media and consumer engagement at Mondelēz International, will be speaking at GrowthBeat Summit in Boston on June 1 and June 2. He’s one of many marketing visionaries who will be gathering for the invitation-only event focused on peer-to-peer debate about the challenges today’s marketing leaders are facing.

Bough’s accomplishments go much further than the Oreo tweet. Known for leading some of the industry’s largest and most innovative global media investments across digital,TV, print, and outdoors, he was recently inducted into the American Advertising Federation’s Advertising Hall of Achievement.

On joining Mondelēz International, Bough has been the driving force behind numerous first-of-their-kind initiatives and brand reinventions. One such initiative is Mobile Futures, an accelerator program that partners the company’s famous brands with leading mobile startups, encouraging a culture of “intrapreneurship,” in which corporate employees learn to think and act like entrepreneurs. This has led him to launching three of the largest corporate startup accelerator programs to date.
