We are delighted to announce the next series of FREE events in our UK Advertising Summer Showcase.
As we all emerge from lockdown, UK advertising, with its unique combination of strategic, creative, technological and production capabilities, is ready to play a crucial role in the economic recovery for businesses around the world.
After a successful launch in early June at Createch @CogX where we hosted nearly 45,000 delegates over three days, our Summer Showcase continues. It’s a series of free events featuring companies from across our industry along with international clients – they will be sharing learnings from success stories and the challenges they’ve faced, plus consumer predictions for the future as we all learn from Covid-19 and the lockdown.
It’s a brilliant place to see what UK advertising has to offer you and your business as you plan your exit from the lockdown and path to growth, no matter where you might be based geographically. If the lockdown has proved one thing, it is that our industry can, during a period of enforced remote working where everything has to happen online, continue to produce great work for international customers.
