AANA Reset: Growth through disruption

ThinkNewsBrands partners with AANA for RESET 2026

ThinkNewsBrands was proud to partner with AANA for RESET 2026, bringing renowned journalist Nick Bryant to the stage to explore why trusted and credible news environments matter more than ever in a world of misinformation, AI and “AI slop”.

Held at Ilumina Sydney on 6 August, RESET brought together Australia’s leading marketers, industry experts and business leaders for a day of thought-provoking discussions on the forces reshaping marketing, media and business.

With the theme Growth Through Disruption, the program explored the impact of AI, technology, changing consumer behaviour and global uncertainty, with an impressive line-up of speakers including global sporting legend Andre Agassi, marketing leader Raja Rajamannar, futurist and AI expert Dr Catherine Ball, behavioural science and marketing expert Rory Sutherland, Suncorp’s EGM Brand & Customer Experience Mim Haysom and Leo Australia Chief Creative Officer Andrew Fergusson.

Nick Bryant opened the event, sharing his perspective on the growing importance of trust and credibility, the forces shaping public confidence and the vital role quality journalism plays in helping audiences navigate an increasingly noisy and complex media environment – and why this matters for brands.
