Jackie Holt, Managing Partner at BJL and an IPA City Head, said: “We’ve seen a real step-change happening across advertising and communications. No matter what the size of investment, there’s a need to deliver tangible commercial value to the brand and the business and therefore marketing planning that’s rooted in foresight and evidence-based decision making.
“The IPA has a long-term commitment to strengthening marketing accountability and so saw this as an opportunity for key member agencies to share, inspire and discuss diverse strategies, tools and case studies at our Effectiveness Pavilion at PN Live.”
The 10 agencies will be delivering case studies and presentations detailing the effectiveness of their work on behalf of their clients ranging from multi nationals to UK regional and national brands.
The IPA Effectiveness Pavilion will be of compelling interest to in-house marketing and brand manages and directors, keen to hear about a variety of hugely successful marketing campaigns.
And it’s just one highlight of two packed days of keynote speakers, workshops, seminars and other sessions at Prolific North Live.
Senior industry representatives from Spotify, Google, British Government, Virgin Trains, Paddy Power, Tesco and Everton FC are already confirmed, with more to follow.
