Upcoming Events – February 2019
Marketing Plans and Their Secret Sauce – Brisbane
6 February 2019, Brisbane
As we begin 2019, we are exploring how marketers do their planning for the year ahead, and importantly, what that plan actually looks like. We know that there is not one set process or template to and that each business will approach and design their plan in slightly different ways.
That’s why this month, we are looking at how various marketers undertake the task for both strategic plans and practical activities and what their secret sauce is for making it work for their team.
Regardless of whether you and your team have your plan completed, or if it’s a work in progress, this event will benefit you and give you a unique chance to look behind the curtain at what works for other marketers.
Our speakers will share:
- The process involved in putting together their marketing plan
- How the plan relates to the broader company goals and vision
- Who is involved in compiling, reviewing, approving and implementing the plan
- The actual format used for the plan/s
- How long the plan is for and how it typically evolves over time
Don’t miss this chance to gain some insights and knowledge for marketing leaders to inspire your marketing approach!

Future of Brands Sydney
27 February 2019, Sydney
The Future of Brands is co-located in Sydney with our leading broadcast event, Future TV Advertising Forum
We will be picking up on the key issues facing brands in in this complex, digital world.
We are keen to explore the impact voice marketing will make over the next few years – very significant in the view of some; and we will look more broadly at marketing to machines.
We will hear case studies on the development of brand experiences, pulling together both offline and online examples; and explore the growth of social e-commerce.
With so many vying for the consumer’s attention in so many ways, loyalty marketing is taking on new emphasis. We will explore that, and the other possibility that you might be battling to deal with a loss of trust in your brand?
It’s no wonder in such a fast-moving world that marketers are starting to seek new and different agency relationships; and agencies in turn are keen to preserve their place at the table and extend their impact and influence where possible. We ask what agency models are coming to the fore and where the management consultancies sit in all this.
