Chief Marketing & Brand Experience Officer, Virgin Voyage

Nathan Rosenberg is the CMO rewriting the rules of how modern brands grow. At Virgin Voyages, he's turned an adults-only cruise line into the most awarded ship at sea. His thesis is simple and unfashionable: emotion is the last real moat. While the category optimizes funnels and chases CAC, Nathan builds brands people choose to come back to. Brand in their memory, not the message. The result: higher repeat rates, lower acquisition costs, and a definition of lifetime value the spreadsheet jockeys haven't caught up to yet.
