PANEL SYNOPSIS
Modern marketers have a lot to think about. Their jobs have become more complex than ever as their businesses navigate the demands and possibilities presented by the 21st century. For those working with brands, whether media, creative or PR agencies or production companies, they can easily find themselves hyper-focused on their particular niche, without fully understanding the bigger picture, leading to missed opportunities. Not least when it comes to creativity and fully leveraging it to transform brands.
We’re bringing together a clutch of top marketers to get an insight into how they like to work with their partners, what they’re really looking for and what a creatively excellent relationship looks like to them.
Better Together is set to bring together 200 of the city's finest marketers, agency leaders and producers to discuss what's really driving change in the industry right now and how we can help collectively achieve more as an industry.
