EVENT HASHTAG: #bcamaTLS
Join us on the morning of Friday, January 26th, 2018 for an insightful glimpse into the future of marketing – during our annual Marketing Agency Panel: INsights & OUTlooks For 2018.
With the explosive growth of on-demand marketing technologies, readily available data optimization services, and the reinvention of the agency model, along with numerous other trends and ‘next big things’ , there are so many options now available to today’s marketer. We will be addressing that, and more, during the INsights & OUTlooks For 2018 panel discussion – featuring leading agencies from both the local market AND south of the border.
In addition to each agency panelist sharing a brief, yet informative, overview on the specific area that they feel is the future of marketing, they will collectively discuss the areas to watch and the strategies to incorporate in 2018, and beyond.
This year’s presenters will include agencies that focus on highly relevant niche services AND some that were not even considered as agencies, just a few short years ago.
Don’t miss out on your opportunity to hear what our highly regarded industry leaders have to share; book your space today. Though the Early Bird savings are, technically, available until January 14th, last year’s Marketing Agency Panel was a SELL OUT.
Take advantage of the early-bird savings — which end January 14th, 2018.
