We’re delighted to say that the Northern Marketing Awards 2015, which is being held tonight at the Hilton Deansgate in Manchester, is a complete sell-out.
Over 400 tickets have been sold for the event, which will be the largest single gathering of the North’s leading marketers and marketing agencies in 2015.
John Roberts
John Roberts, chief executive of ao.com, will be the guest speaker, and the event’s headline partner for the third successive year is leading digital agency Click Consult.
Last year’s popular pairing, Andy Crane and Emma Jesson, will be returning to host.
