Setup®’s Post

WE DID IT!! WE HOSTED AIMS! What a whirlwind of a day and what a raging success. Setup hosted our first‑ever Atlanta Integrated Marketing Summit (AIMS), and it exceeded every expectation! A heartfelt thank‑you to everyone who helped bring this summit to life. From our sponsors, to our speakers, to our partners, team, and volunteers, we truly could not have done this without you. Our featured speakers — Julie Bowerman (Kellanova), Deisha Barnett (UPS), Shivram Vaideeswaran (Papa Johns), and Thomas Winstanley (Edible Brands) — delivered thoughtful, deeply resonant sessions. Attendees shared nonstop praise for how real and non-surface‑level the conversations were, and how refreshing it felt to hear vastly different insights with genuine depth and metrics. A huge shoutout to our amazing sponsors — including Atlanta Journal-Constitution, SWARM, Reply, Truelio, Causal, SupplyHouse — who helped make every detail intentional and memorable. The activations were a hit, from REPLY’s AI Photo Moment (responsible for lots of laughter and fantastic content) to the Marketing Match Lounge presented by Setup and sponsored by SWARM, which sparked meaningful conversations and new connections all afternoon. And to our Setup team (Joe, Amanda, Rhonda, Madeline, May, and Kayla) and our incredible volunteers: thank you. Your energy, preparation, and hospitality shaped the entire experience and made the day seamless for hundreds of attendees. At Setup, our mission is simple: bring marketers together with the best people and resources. We strive to unlock the power of human connection, and AIMS did exactly that… and more. Here’s to many more moments like this. Stay tuned for our keynote videos and professional photos as we receive them in the coming weeks. We will be posting about this and riding this high for awhile. Thank you. #AIMS2025 #AtlantaMarketing #LevelUpATL
