Industry leaders from tigerbond, Drummond Central, Dinosaur and Uniform Group will be speaking at Prolific North’s new Independent Agencies to Watch event 2023.
The event, sponsored by insurance brokers Verlingue, will be hosted on 14th September from 5.30pm at Colony, One Silk Street in Manchester.
Following on from our hugely popular Tech Companies to Watch event in 2022, this brand new initiative from Prolific North is designed to celebrate the rising stars on the North’s thriving independent agency scene.
The list, which has been compiled by the editorial team at Prolific North, will showcase those independent agencies who are creating the biggest waves as they grow, be that financially, creatively or as an employer.
As well as a reveal of the list on the night and networking, Michael Treasure from Verlingue will kick off the event with opening remarks followed by a keynote session with Dan Appleby, CEO of Drummond Central, who will be sharing his valuable insights.
A panel of experienced independent agency leaders will follow, addressing the question: “Are independent agencies better at creativity and culture?”
The panel includes: Nick Howe, founder and CEO at Uniform Group; Mark Beaumont, founder and creative director at Dinosaur; and Rachel Taylor, client services director at tigerbond.
Rachel Taylor, client services director at tigerbond, said: “Everyone on the panel pours a lot of energy and love into their client work, so it will be a real pleasure to share key learnings, discuss our passion for creativity and impart our views on upcoming innovations on the night.
“I’m also looking forward to meeting people who are quite new to agency life, to see our industry through their eyes and be inspired by their proudest moments to date.”
Mark Beaumont, founder and chief creative officer at Dinosaur added: “Not all dinosaurs were big, lumbering beasts. The most successful – the ones which could adapt and evolve – were agile, nimble and intelligent. In the same way, I like to see independent agencies as the ones who are best positioned to help serious marketers traverse the ever-shifting comms landscape. Prolific North’s event will expertly shine a torch on the region’s independent talent of today and tomorrow. I’m thrilled to be going.”
It’s set to be an unmissable event but spaces are limited – please make sure you book your place at the event here.
