McCann to celebrate role of print in a digital world at Leeds event

McCann Leeds is partnering with Precision Proco to host The Tangible Economy, an event that will explore how brands are reconnecting with audiences through real-world experiences in an overwhelmingly digital world, with special guest, James Brewer, marketing director at DFS.

For many brands, the role of tangible marketing communications needs to be reappraised considering advances in print communications including personalisation, measurement and sustainability. Against a background of a world driven and influenced by digital content, fake news and AI, this event will help brands concretise their role in the ever-changing media landscape.

The team from McCann and Precision Proco will explore the cultural influences and impact of this, explain the innovations in print, plus give real life examples and recommendations of the role print communications could and should play.

James Brewer, Marketing Director at DFS, will provide a client perspective alongside the panel of speakers who are primarily in the marketing and advertising industry.

Hosted at Headrow House in Leeds on Wednesday 4th June 2025, the event, starting at 4pm, will be comprised of four talks from experts followed by drinks on the rooftop terrace.
