About the event
Join us for an unmissable conversation with Elfried Samba, Co-Founder & CEO of Butterfly Effect and one of the world’s leading voices on community-driven brand building.
As the former Global Head of Social Content at Gymshark, Elfried helped grow the brand’s fitness community from 1.5M to 20M+ followers, fueling its ascent to a £1.4B valuation and positioning it alongside global powerhouses like Nike and Lululemon.

Over the last five years, he has built the second most engaged LinkedIn account globally, driving 500M+ impressions, 9M+ engagements, and an audience of 385K+ followers.
