We live in an increasingly short-term world. A century ago, the average lifespan of a company on the S&P 500 was 67 years. Today, it’s 15 years. Once-iconic names like Blockbuster, Kodak and Toys ‘R’ Us are bankrupt or no longer exist. Adapting and thriving in this ...

We live in an increasingly short-term world. A century ago, the average lifespan of a company on the S&P 500 was 67 years. Today, it’s 15 years. Once-iconic names like Blockbuster, Kodak and Toys ‘R’ Us are bankrupt or no longer exist. Adapting and thriving in this era will take more than lifting our collective gaze from the “unhealthy focus on short-term profits,” as Warren Buffett and Jamie Dimon put it. It will require leaders thinking about building legacies and not just near-term resumes. In this talk, Mark Miller shares the five traits of the modern legacy mindset from his bestselling book, Legacy in the Making: Building a Long- Term Brand to Stand Out in a Short-Term World (McGraw-Hill Education). He focuses on what distinguishes long-term brand builders from their short-lived peers.

About Keynote Speaker Mark Miller

Mark Miller is the co-author of Legacy in the Making: Building a Long-Term Brand to Stand Out in a Short- Term World (McGraw-Hill Education, 2018). He is the founder of The Legacy Lab, a thought leadership and consulting practice that explores how brands can build modern legacies; and he is also Chief Strategy Officer at Team One, Publicis Groupe’s global luxury and premium brand agency. Having worked for more than 20 years in the communications industry, Mark has become a go-to strategist for global brands seeking enduring relevance.

Mark’s thought leadership has been recognized in North America by many of the most significant honors in marketing and advertising, such as the ARF David Ogilvy Awards for research excellence, the Jay Chiat Awards for strategic excellence, and the Effie Awards for marketing effectiveness. Mark’s consumer insights research on the Global Affluent Tribe was featured in The Internationalist magazine, which also named him a Trendsetter and Agency Innovator.

Recently, Mark and his strategy team at The Legacy Lab published a pioneering study. It reports on the rare breed of leaders and brands writing history every day, the people they inspire to bring the past forward, and the physical or digital products and experiences they create to build lasting legacies in a short-term world. Traditionally, “legacy” refers to the past. This important study examines legacy as a still-vital part of today. The resulting book, Legacy in the Making, has been endorsed by Simon Sinek as “a must-read for anyone who wants their work to last beyond their lifetime.” It was a #1 new release on Amazon, a Washington Post and 800CEOREAD bestseller, and one of eight notable reads announced at the Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Awards during the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival.

Mark is a sought-after presenter, keynote speaker and panelist on global luxury and premium brands, leadership and culture, legacy-making, and his recent book. He has been invited to address global companies, conferences and lecture series ranging from Talks@Google to the upcoming 2019 South by Southwest (SXSW) festival.

Mark’s writing has been featured in Entrepreneur, Inc. magazine, Fast Company and Dow Jones Marketwatch. His ideas have been shared in the Los Angeles Times, Luxury Daily and Arianna Huffington’s Thrive Global. He has appeared as a guest on Adam Carolla’s top-ranked “Take a Knee” podcast and “Knowledge@Wharton” on SiriusXM. His work is included in the curriculum of respected academic institutions including the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, Loyola Marymount University, and Columbia Business School.

Not all speakers inspire. Mark does. Not all speakers cause his or her audience to actually put down their devices and listen. Mark does. Not all speakers show a vast knowledge of their subject with the ability to impart that knowledge to others. Mark does. He does this honestly, intelligently, without arrogance or the slightest hint of condescension. He’s been back many times for one-on-ones with our students and to work with our faculty and our recruiters.”
