NORTHERN MARKETING FESTIVAL

3 cities, one week, 50+ speakers and endless opportunities to grow and connect!

The North boasts a vibrant and growing marketing community.

 The joined forces of dynamic cities in Northern England, including Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle, make a compelling offer – access to globally competitive talent, supported by graduates from across 25 universities each year, thriving digital and creative hubs and collaboration across diverse disciplines. And we want to shout about the fantastic talent and creativity that makes the North so special…

THAT’S WHERE THE NORTHERN MARKETING FESTIVAL COMES IN!

From 24 – 27 June across Newcastle, Leeds & Manchester, we took to the road and delivered a series events all aimed at helping you deepen your marketing know-how, connect with like-minded peers and share ideas. With more than 50 expert speakers and panelists, there was no shortage of inspiration!

TOP NORTHERN BRAND MARKETERS 2024

As part of the inaugural Northern Marketing Festival we  wanted to celebrate and recognise the incredible brand-side talent from across the nation’s most well-known brands. 

This brand new list has been compiled from a combination of nominations from the marketing community along with a considerable amount of research from Prolific North’s editorial team. We revealed the full research exclusively at our Leeds event with a very special panel featuring representatives from Virgin, BOXT, Nimble Approach and Pedigree!
