NABS, the industry body that supports the lives – through good and bad – of those working in advertising and the media, is to partner the Prolific North Marketing Awards as the awards’ charitable partner.
The NABS community is made up of creative agencies, media agencies and media owners and we are delighted that Prolific North is able to work with the body in its centenary year.
At the dinner on 3 July, we will be showcasing some of NABS efforts, nationally and regionally and will be offering a variety of prizes and enjoyable diversions to help raise funds for NABS on the night. NABS is funded entirely by voluntary donations.
Further information about NABS can be found here and for those who would like to talk in more detail about NABS efforts in the North, Kate Harris is the head of regional development and can be found at k.harris@nabs.org.uk
