The Orchestration Era

Marketing has entered the Orchestration Era. Campaigns don’t wait, creative multiplies, media expands, and agentic systems execute in real time. Yet brand, performance, audience, and measurement move in parallel instead of in sync. Growth belongs to brands that bridge human strategy with agentic execution—aligning brand building and demand capture into one connected, accountable full-funnel model. That’s what Tinuiti Live 2026 is built to explore.

Orchestration in Motion

Marisa Thalberg has built and led some of America’s most beloved brands and she’s not slowing down. As EVP, Chief Customer and Marketing Officer at Catalyst Brands, home to JCPenney, Brooks Brothers, Eddie Bauer, and Nautica, Marisa brings rare creative ambition and performance rigor to modern marketing’s most complex challenges. In this exclusive fireside with Tinuiti’s Diana DiGuido, Marisa gets candid about what it actually takes to grow brands at scale in the Orchestration Era, where brand, media, audience, and measurement must work as one system. What’s changed. What’s breaking down. And how she’s leading through complexity with clarity and intention.
