Marc Nohr, CEO of Fold7 and IPA's Commercial Leadership Group’s Chair continues his agenda to Drive Growth. It's a business imperative that aims to help agencies become more profitable and sustainable and make our industry as relevant and potent as ever.
2020 IPA Business Growth Conference postponed
Due to the uncertainty and the future status of COVID-19, we won’t be hosting our usual conference on 8 July 2020. We are continuing to review the situation and hope that we will be able to provide an event towards the end of the year. Further details TBC. If you have bought a ticket for July and would like a refund please let us know.
Putting Growth on the Agenda
What we recognise as advertising and the advertising industry has changed shape hugely in recent years - with no sign of abating. We're presented with a clear choice - lament the changes and try to justify our existence, or reinvent ourselves.
The IPA's Commercial Leadership Group, is of course, choosing the latter option.
Marc leads the IPA Group, comprised of agency heads, in looking at how agencies can transform themselves. Some of the areas they'll be looking at will include; what the advertising business can learn from others; what it sells and what its relationship with technology is.
The findings shape Group meetings, outputs, content and of course be at the forefront of our flagship IPA event the Business Growth Conference. The only event of its kind in our industry, the IPA Business Growth Conference will be host to some of the biggest names in our industry who’ll reveal their new drivers for growth, how agencies like theirs will be appointed going forwards and how we’ll all have to change to deliver the “new” value.
Highlights of the 2019 Business Growth Conference
This year, 350 Business Growth Conference delegates learned how to reimagine their businesses, how to develop a growth mindset and what advertisers are looking for from their agencies; brand, comms and experience.
They were 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, catch up with the content and the videos here.
