In difficult economic circumstances it is even more important that our senior leadership teams can create an environment where their own and their clients’ businesses can thrive.
As IPA President and Vice Chairman of VCCP Partnership Julian Douglas set out in his recent President’s address, it’s time ‘to turbo boost the very best of what we do’ … ‘sooner, bigger and bolder’. We need to take advantage of these unique economic times and show how advertising can spark significant growth.
To do this, our senior leadership teams must understand business and speak the language of the boardroom; have a deep understanding of how advertising works and the role of brands in business growth; and know how to lead our agency teams and client business, develop world class talent and encourage diversity throughout our businesses.
This is where the IPA can help. We have developed a suite of programmes for senior practitioners to develop these skills, which will in turn provide your agency with a leadership dream team.
