Marketing to Men Summit
The inaugural Marketing to Men Summit on September 16, 2025 was an unprecedented opportunity for brands, businesses, thought leaders, and creators to come together to challenge how we think about and engage men today.
Attendees participated in panels, dialogues and in-room activities exploring how we can uplift the health and wellbeing of men, engage men as multifaceted human beings, and contribute positively to men’s self-image and evolving roles in the world.
what attendees had to say
“The…brainpower, accomplishment, and creative talent at the Marketing to Men Summit was exceptional. “
The most valuable part of the day was being in a room of people trying to be their best, whole selves.”
“I left feeling clearer about men, about myself, and about what’s possible”
overheard in the room
Check out some of the insights and observations shared by some of our 30+ speakers from the 2025 Marketing to Men Summit.
“I grew up asking, ‘What’s wrong with me?’ I learned there was nothing wrong with me — what was wrong was a culture that told men not to feel. Now I model the kind of manhood I want to see in the world: expressive, kind, emotionally aware, and compassionate.”
Johnny Cole
“80% of men aged 18-49 want alternative contraception. They’re begging us to create products for them. I’m inspired by men wanting to be partners, wanting to be fully engaged in relationship and family planning.”
Darlene Walley
“Patriarchy is the old operating system. Healthy masculinity is the cultural technology upgrade—from protection and providing to presence and partnership.”
