Creative, digital & media strategies to future proof your business
Is your business ready to negotiate another strained trading climate? Or are you looking for ways to get ahead in what could be turbulent times?
We’re all aware of the various headwinds causing economic growth to stall and business confidence to falter. These are always challenging times for businesses, especially for those in the creative industries, because marketing budgets are often the first to be cut when times get tough. But could you be missing a trick?
History has shown that some businesses effectively weather these storms by adopting winning strategies focused on people, processes and possibilities. Using lessons learned from the 2008 recession and Covid 19 pandemic, at this event we’ll explore how you can use creative, digital and media to thrive rather than just survive. From getting ahead of the impending recruitment bubble and retaining the best talent; to driving more business through your creative, digital and media activities; and using insights to identify the opportunities that exist to both learn from the past and future-proof your business ready for challenging economic times.
