Creativity That Delivers Business Results

As AI rapidly changes the creative landscape, yesterday’s breakthrough can quickly become today’s baseline. This event explores how marketers can continue to use creativity as a genuine driver of brand growth, customer engagement and commercial performance.


The evening will bring together leading creative and marketing practitioners from both B2B and B2C environments for an engaging, conversational discussion around:

• How creativity can contribute to measurable business outcomes
• The differences between B2B and B2C creative thinking
• How leading creatives approach problems, ideas and execution
• The changing role of creativity in an AI-enabled marketing environment
• Practical ways marketers can challenge habitual thinking and create more impactful work


Meet the Speakers

Simon Banks, Keynote speaker and Facilitator. Connect on LinkedIn

Most people don’t realise that creativity and curiosity are addictive. Simon Banks definitely does. Hooked for life, he’s a creativity, innovation and design nerd-in-chief, international keynote speaker, author, co-host of the hit podcast The Occupational Philosophers and a happily recovering professional artist.

He keeps a foot in both the creative and corporate worlds bringing fresh energy and a different lens to help teams build creative confidence and move from playing it safe to getting dangerously curious.
