Bringing our Collective together to shape the Future of Marketing – Explore 2026 Report

24 July 2026

There’s something special about getting our clients’, our team, our partners in a room together. The conversations are richer. The challenges become shared. New ideas emerge. And everyone leaves with a fresh perspective on what’s possible.

That’s exactly why we created Explore.

As part of our commitment to delivering value beyond our strategy and marketing programmes we run, Explore brings together our Collective, our clients, partners and industry experts, for a day dedicated to learning, collaboration and forward-thinking discussion.

At Hut 3, we’re incredibly fortunate to work with ambitious organisations that trust us with their brands, their marketing and, ultimately, their growth. Explore is our opportunity to give something back. It’s a space where our clients can step away from day-to-day pressures, connect with peers facing similar challenges, and gain practical insights into the trends shaping the future of B2B marketing.

This year’s event was our most ambitious yet. Throughout the two days at the RSA in London, attendees explored the evolving role of Account-Based Marketing, the opportunities and challenges presented by AI, the future of marketing measurement, and the technology stacks that are helping organisations drive more meaningful commercial outcomes.

What made the day particularly powerful wasn’t just the expertise on stage, it was the willingness of attendees to openly share experiences, ask difficult questions and learn from one another.

From discussions around ABM becoming a business-wide operating model rather than simply a campaign strategy, to practical workshops demonstrating how AI can augment rather than replace marketers, every session was designed to deliver real-world value.

One of the highlights of the day was hearing directly from our clients. The candid conversation around Fluke’s ABM journey demonstrated what can happen when marketing, sales and leadership teams unite around a shared vision. These kinds of stories are invaluable because they’re grounded, the successes, the challenges and the lessons learned along the way.

We were also delighted to welcome explorer Jack Fleckney, whose experiences navigating uncertainty and venturing into the unknown offered a fitting metaphor for modern marketing. In a world changing at unprecedented speed, curiosity, adaptability and resilience have never been more important.

Of course, more valuable moments happened between the sessions. Over coffee, lunch and workshop discussions, attendees exchanged ideas, built new connections and continued conversations that will hopefully extend far beyond the day. For us, that’s what Explore is truly about. It’s not simply an event; it’s a community coming together.

As marketing continues to evolve, we believe the greatest advantage organisations can have is access to collective knowledge and shared experience. No single business has all the answers, but together we can learn faster, adapt quicker and make better decisions.

That’s why we’re so passionate about creating opportunities like Explore.

We’re incredibly proud to bring our clients together in this way and grateful for the trust they place in us. Seeing so many marketing leaders, practitioners and innovators sharing ideas, challenging conventional thinking and supporting one another is a powerful reminder of what makes our Collective and Explore events so special.

To everyone who joined us, thank you for helping make Explore such a success.

We can’t wait to continue the conversation and start planning the next one.
