Description

In this episode of BizBlend, we dive into the bold strategies behind Europe's fastest-scaling campaigns with George Kourakos, Managing Director of AMG Media and Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur. From tech to health to gaming, George unpacks how his 360° agency scales businesses through events, influencer marketing, and precise market research. He shares how to filter vanity metrics, build ROI-focused campaigns, and stay agile across countries with distinct cultures. Whether you're a founder planning your first event or a brand leader seeking real impact—not just buzz—this episode delivers grounded advice and behind-the-scenes stories from campaigns that reached 40 million people. About the Guest: George Kourakos is the Managing Director of AMG Media, a powerhouse agency specializing in 360° marketing solutions across Europe. Known for orchestrating events with 25,000+ attendees and managing €10M+ in marketing budgets, George brings deep expertise in scaling brands across tech, health, and gaming. He’s also a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree for his innovative approach to business development and influencer marketing. Key Takeaways: Strategic growth starts with understanding the customer profile across cultural lines—not just scaling blindly. Influencer ROI isn’t about follower count. It’s about engagement and conversion—sometimes a 5K follower influencer beats a 100K one. Event KPIs should go beyond turnout—focus on conversion, relevance of attendees, and platform alignment. AMG Media ensures cohesion through specialized account managers who deeply understand the nuances of regional markets. A strong 360° marketing approach combines fast execution with laser-sharp planning—even turning around major booths in 2 days.
