Whisky with a Higher Purpose (11:50am - 12:25pm ET)

When founding Maker’s Mark in 1953, Bill and Margie Samuels, shared the conviction that what’s best for the people and the land is also best for the bourbon, the business and the brand. Long before it was popular or fashionable, ‘Higher Purpose’ was the ideal that pulsed through every aspect of the bourbon’s inception. This enduring belief not only set the brand apart from the beginning but guides the vision and innovation to this day.

Join Kim Harmon, General Manager of Maker’s Mark Distillery and Ad Age Breakout Brand Leader, to hear more about how the world’s largest B Corp and Regenified Certified Distillery and Bourbon continues to push the boundaries of the industry through its many “Force For Good” initiatives and Jennifer Billiot Garrett, VP Group Brand Strategy Director at Doe-Anderson, who shares why it matters to people and brands more than ever.
