CHAMPIONING CREATIVITY AT THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CONFERENCE
This week, our public affairs and comms team headed to Manchester to represent the advertising industry at the Conservative Party Conference. As anticipation rises towards the next General Election, it was a brilliant opportunity to make the case for the creative sector to Ministers, MPs and political advisors, as well as catch up with our many members who were in attendance.
On Monday night, we led the sponsorship of the Industry Leaders’ Reception at the Midland Hotel – alongside our members Channel 4, IAB UK and the NMA – organised by the Conservatives in Comms (CIC) and Digital Tories. Media Minister Sir John Whittingdale OBE MP offered a thoughtful keynote speech on the successes of the creative industries, hailing them as “one of the greatest strengths the UK has”.
