On Friday, the city’s creative copywriters and content specialists gathered to learn and network at Creative North, a new conference hosted at the Royal Exchange Theatre.
Around 200 were in attendance, with delegates travelling from as far as Devon to hear from the line-up organisers Hampson Nattan Williams had secured – who included Naomi Timperley, Anna Pickard, and Tolani Shoneye.
Creative North was founded by Martin Williams, Andrew Nattan and Ben Hampson after they identified “a Creative North shaped hole… in the North. We talked about it on the train back from last year’s Copy Capital. We decided to do something about it.”
