We will also bring together agency owners to discuss what is happening in their agency and how they are meeting the challenges that 2017 is throwing at them.
We will be hearing from Peter Czapp of The Wow Company, who will be revealing findings from their latest Agency Benchmarking Report, and Pete Martin, formerly of The Gate fame, who will be conducting a quick-fire Q&A on how the agency model needs to change going forward, and how he feels this will evolve in the future.
We will also be hosting an agency panel including the likes of David Johnstone of After Digital, Nathan Fulwood of Create Future and many more...
What is a Business Jam?
A Business Jam is a bit like a music jamming session – lots of stuff is thrown into the mix and you can take the very best stuff to use to help build your business. The Drum Network’s Business Jam events are the perfect place for agency owners, leaders and senior managers to get together to learn new ways to lead, run and build their agency business. Through our range of dynamic speaker presentations, panel discussions, Q&A interviews and tech demonstrations you will learn new ways to run your business, pick up tips on best practise and get insights and inspirations from other ambitious business owners who are in the same position as you.
