Agency Leaders Symposium 2022 | Ashton Media | 5 September 2022 | Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley, an IHG Hotel, 430 Wine Country Drive, Lovedale NSW 2325, Australia

Hear from the most influential minds in the industry on topics including;

• The hidden cost of pitching
• Attention metrics and measurement. Do clients want attention metrics yet? Is the methodology robust enough to establish an industry currency yet?
• How to win without pitching and avoid competitive, low margin RFPs
• How behavioural science can be applied to effective ad creative and customer experience challenges
• Leadership during times of turbulence and change
• Changing priorities for entry and mid-level staff, and how to motivate and retain staff in a rising wage market
• How we can market the ‘why’ of working in Adland
• A look at mentorship in industry vs early promotion vs burnout
• The CMO perspective: deep diving into agency models and what clients really need and want from their agencies. Is it a one-stop-shop agency solution, many agencies, a hybrid of in-house and outsourced or something else entirely?
• Purpose driven marketing, diversity & inclusion, and driving action on critical social issues
• Scaling and diversifying your agency, case studies from rapid growth independent agencies
