Academy and Grammy Award-winner Jamie Foxx to Keynote Marketing Nation® Summit

"We designed Marketo's 2018 Summit experience to celebrate the fearless, not just in marketing but every profession. Marketers crave authentic, inspired dialogue more than ever before, which is why we're bringing bold stories from everyone, from artists to athletes, to center stage this year," said Sarah Kennedy, chief marketing officer, Marketo. "This is also why Jamie Foxx, one of the most talented entertainers of the decade, will join us to share his story of fearless, bold choices that have made him an icon in comedy, music, film, and business."

Foxx rose to fame as a comedian, eventually transitioning to television and film. One of his most memorable roles was his portrayal of Ray Charles in the movie "Ray," for which he took home an Oscar, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award, and British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award, among others. Other notable film credits include his starring as the title role in 2012's "Django Unchained." Foxx is also a Grammy Award-winning musician who has released five chart-topping R&B albums.
