The IPA programme on driving growth is centered around the outputs of the annual Business Growth Conference which is a heady mix of hearing from the most revered business thinkers and the publication of new research findings. The programme also includes other deep dive workshops on various aspects of how to run a commercially successful agency.
This year Business Growth Conference delegates were left in no doubt about how to reimagine their businesses, how to develop a growth mindset as well as the inside track on what advertisers are looking for from their agencies; brand, comms and experience. They heard it from the people in the know including Publicis Sapient’s Nigel Vaz, Oxford Leadership Founder Brian Bacon and Mirren Business Development’s Brent Hodgins.
The 350 delegates were also the first to learn about the six principles for successful pricing strategies and went away with a free copy of the IPA’s new learning on pricing strategies: The Price of Success. So if you missed it, catchup with the content and the videos here, and make sure you book your place for 2020.
