Marketing is a critical function in driving business growth in any organisation and it plays a key role in a rapidly changing landscape. A landscape that’s evolving through technology, regulations, economic uncertainty and changes in the way customers interact with brands.
This year’s summit will look at harnessing the power of marketing to implement key changes in your organisation, be it large or small.
Our speakers will consider the new opportunities provided by a multi-channel, customer-centric approach and the importance of trust as a key dynamic in customer behaviours. We’ll also examine the internal drivers of success, helping to ensure you have the right culture, structure, skill sets and recruitment strategy.
Each session will open with new insights from recent CIM research and will finish with interactive Q&As involving our panel of speakers. We want you to leave inspired with fresh ideas to drive your business forward.
