Detroit. Motown. Showtown. The Motor City. The city of Champions. The builder of the middle class. Whatever you call Detroit it has always been known for its spirit of creativity and innovation. Detroit was the silicon valley of its day during the boom of the automotive industry. As Detroit goes through its transition and re-structuring process we have a great opportunity to be apart of the re-birth of the city we love.

Historical Detroit Creativity

  • Innovation: Thomas Edison (Light Bulb)
  • Mass Production: Henry Ford (Automotive)
  • Hockey’s Origin Six: Detroit Red Wings (11-Stanley Cups)
  • Pop and Soul Music: Motown/Berry Gordy

New Digital Detroit Creativity

  • Techno Music: Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, and Eddie Fowlkes, (Belleville Four)
  • Creative Cities Summit (2008)
  • Brand Camp University – Personal Branding 2.0 Conference (founded in 2008)
  • Module Midwest Digital Conference (founded in 2009)

The groundswell is starting to increase surrounding the Detroit social media community. The birth of the Module Digital Conference, Social Media Club Detroit, #Tweetea, and TedxDetroit and Brand Camp University confirms that there is a loyal and vibrant community of leaders who want to create the future digitally. Detroit will no longer just be your grandfathers old motor city.

Why Brand Camp?

One of the goals of the Brand Camp conference is to bring together experts in social media marketing, Web strategy, business, branding and communications to discuss how social media has revolutionized the way individuals and companies position their brands.

The conversation will be lead by thought leaders, a world-class athlete, and entrepreneurs: Mitch Joel, Rohit Bhargava, Scott Monty, April Holmes, Robert Fish (founder of Biggby Coffee) and Kenneth Brown on Saturday, October 10th at Lawrence Tech University.
