In this session, Elizabeth Doss took the stage to present IzzyInc Studios — a creative studio helping restaurants, brands, and leaders stand out through custom animated GIFs. With more than 6 billion views on her personal creations and another 5 billion across client libraries, Elizabeth showed how GIFs can do more than make people laugh — they can drive attention, spark conversations, and even close deals. From helping operators celebrate guests online to giving sales teams memorable tools that cut through digital noise, Elizabeth demonstrated how branded GIFs bring emotion, authority, and fun into the heart of marketing.

• Making Brands Memorable – From restaurants celebrating guests to consultants reinforcing their catchphrases, Elizabeth demonstrated how GIFs give teams a simple, scalable way to stay top of mind.
