Come meet the Monks at Cairns Crocodiles
12 – 14 May · Far North Queensland, Australia
Real Time Brands is a strategic framework developed by Monks to help marketing leaders benchmark and accelerate their brand’s operating speed. At Cairns Crocodiles 2026, we’re running a live session to unpack what it really takes to compete at real-time speed in the APAC market.
Keynote: Scale or Break: AI, Mergers & Modern Marketing
Media and marketing are being reshaped by mega-mergers, rapid AI adoption and relentless pressure to scale. But transformation is not just strategic. It is human. Drawing on his unrivalled leadership experience, Sir Martin reveals what actually breaks and what holds during large-scale change, how AI is really being used in marketing today, as well as the leadership moves that matter most when certainty disappears.
Breakfast Seminar: Rethinking workflows for the Real Time Era
Your current marketing operations were built for a world that no longer exists. Join us for an immersive, workshop-style breakfast designed to challenge you to reimagine the marketing workflow from scratch. Through technical provocation and hands-on experimentation, we’ll showcase a radical reimagining of campaign development—testing hooks on YouTube Shorts and using engagement data to build ‘guaranteed’ hits before you ever hit a production studio. Participants will leave with a tangible understanding of how to reduce organisational friction and transform their team into a high-velocity creative powerhouse. Note: Arrival at 8:00 - 8:30AM for breakfast opening; 8:30 - 9:30AM for workshop
Get Faster or Be Forgotten: The Real-Time Mandate for the AI Era
Your current marketing operations were built for a world that no longer exists. Today, time is the only currency that matters. This session explores the high cost of "marketing lag"—the friction between cold data and slow-motion production—and provides a fresh blueprint for winning in an era of non-linear purchase funnels. We’ll explain why the gap between cultural signal and your brand’s response isn't just a delay, it’s a drain on your bottom line. And reveal how the world’s most agile brands leapfrog the competition by making creative their primary targeting tool.
Spaces are limited to 35 attendees. Our team will be in touch to confirm your place.
