A former AME Grand Jury member and AME WE Champion (Women in Effectiveness) Board & Jury member, Jasmine unpacks the evolving role of purpose in marketing, the three dimensions most critical to achieving growth, mind, culture, and knowledge, and and explains why attention remains today’s most valuable brand currency, all through a more holistic lens.

In this thought-provoking interview, she explores how data and AI are reshaping the landscape, how to win in the battle for consumer mindshare, and strategies to build brands without overwhelming audiences.
