Prolific North Live, our flagship event for marketing, advertising and media professionals, returns to Manchester for a day of insight, ideas and conversations about what comes next.
With AI evolving rapidly, consumer behaviour continuing to shift and businesses under increasing pressure to prove marketing effectiveness, knowing what’s genuinely worth paying attention to has never been more important.
That’s why this year’s theme is:
The next big thing for 2027 in marketing, advertising & media
Rather than adding to the noise, Prolific North Live 2026 will focus on the ideas, strategies and innovations that will actually matter as we head into 2027.
Expect expert-led sessions, practical case studies and honest conversations exploring the opportunities shaping the future of the industry.
