New York, NY, May 12, 2025 - Tribeca X, the Tribeca Festival's flagship program for brand-driven storytelling, today announced its speaker lineup and official selections for the Tribeca X Awards. Taking place June 9-10 at Spring Studios, the event convenes top talent from Hollywood, advertising, and business for two days of high-impact conversations and networking at the intersection of creativity, commerce, and culture. The program continues to solidify its position as the premier destination for C-suite executives, CMOs, and marketers looking to shape the future of storytelling and brand engagement. The 2025 Tribeca Festival is presented by OKX.

This year's lineup showcases how entertainment powerhouses and influential brands are redefining storytelling by blending Hollywood craft with marketing strategy:

Kenneth Cole, fashion icon and founder of the Mental Health Coalition, reflects on four decades of using fashion as a platform for storytelling, activism, and social impact.

Lena Waithe, Emmy-winning writer, producer, and founder of Hillman Grad, records a special live episode of her hit podcast Legacy Talk, exploring storytelling as a tool for preserving Black cultural memory and shaping inclusive narratives in Hollywood.

Haider Rafique, CMO of OKX, and actor Chazz Palminteri present Mild Mild West, a first-of-its-kind Western that fuses crypto and cinema in a groundbreaking cross-industry collaboration.

Ynon Kreiz, Mattel CEO, on scaling legacy through culturally relevant brand storytelling.

Raja Rajamannar, CMO of Mastercard, shares insights on how brands are transforming into experience curators by blending innovation, entertainment, and emotional connection.

Previously announced speakers include brand leaders Kraft Heinz CMO Todd Kaplan on evolving legacy brands through real-time, consumer-first marketing; Ally Financial CMO Andrea Brimmer on championing equity and impact through bold investment in women's sports; Kansas City Chiefs Chief Media and Marketing Officer Lara Krug on leveraging fandom and storytelling to redefine brand expansion.; and 72andSunny CEO Evin Shutt on how optimism, purpose, and bold storytelling power a creative edge.

In today's ever-changing media landscape, brands have evolved from sponsors to storytellers, said Jane Rosenthal, Co-Founder and CEO of Tribeca. Tribeca X is a unique platform where creative visionaries and industry leaders converge to drive innovation, spark meaningful dialogue, and influence the cultural agenda.

In a major expansion, Tribeca X is going year-round. Activations in 2025 will appear at high-profile cultural moments-including the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), the Emmys (in partnership with The Female Quotient), and Art Basel Miami Beach-offering storytellers and marketers new platforms to connect, collaborate, and launch bold creative work.

Tribeca X is scaling to meet the moment. Our year-round expansion positions Tribeca X as the leading platform where entertainment and marketing come together to shape what's next, said Chris Brady, President, Global Chief Commercial Officer of Tribeca Enterprises. Building on the strength of our signature two-day program at the annual Tribeca Festival, this year, we're activating at global tentpoles like TIFF, the Emmys, and Art Basel Miami Beach to foster new opportunities for meaningful connection, creative experimentation, and industry impact with a highly influential community of marketing and entertainment leaders.
