A special Prolific North event to reveal the true international influence of Northern businesses is to be held at KPMG’s city centre office in Manchester.
Earlier this year, in association with Manchester Metropolitan University’s School of Digital Arts (SODA), Prolific North commissioned the Global Reach 2021 Report to explore the performance of the region’s tech, marketing, media and creative companies on a global stage.
The findings within the report will now be revealed at a dedicated Global Reach Summit, hosted in Manchester at KPMG’s Northern headquarters in Manchester on Thursday November 11th.
The event – which has also been supported by GC Business Growth Hub and UKAEG – will feature guest speakers and a selection of roundtable discussions dedicated to the report’s key themes.
The exclusive research – which comes eight years after Prolific North’s Global Reach pilot – has identified more than 500 Northern-based companies who now have a global footprint.
That compares to around 250 companies identified in the last report in 2013.
A webinar highlighting the report’s preliminary findings – and sponsored by Beever and Struthers – was held in May and featured the likes of Katy Leeson, MD of Social Chain, and Nickii Gray, Chief Executive Partner of Intermarketing (now IMA).
