Prolific North Live, the definitive event for all the latest trends in marketing, media and digital, will be returning this October.
After a sellout event in 2023, Prolific North Live will be back bigger and better for 2024 with a fresh wave of industry experts set to appear at Manchester Conference Centre at Pendulum Hotel on 16 October.
Whether you’re a brand marketer, an agency or a tech partner, this one-day event will leave you feeling inspired with actionable insights to take your business forward and is a great way to meet industry peers, exchange ideas and build relationships.
You can expect two stages of jam-packed content with three key themes this year including predictions in media, marketing and digital heading into 2025, consumer trends and how people discover, buy and interact with their favourite brands, and a closer look at marketing mavericks and how underdog brands can stand out.
Expect to cut through the noise and hear from a fantastic line-up of speakers who’ve been there before and achieved impressive results as they share their tips on the latest tools, knowledge and insights needed to take your brand into 2025. Check out our first set of brand-side speakers for Prolific North Live 2024:
