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
Entry to the event includes substantial canapés and a 2-hour beverage package featuring beer, wine and sparkling. Plus, enjoy a live engraving experience with Red Tomato Merchandise.
