Marketing in a new world

If you’re serious about marketing, please join me at the latest Levitt Group event, being run by the CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing):

Are you equipped for the professional challenges of the years ahead? Do you know where you can find the support you may need It is a cliché to say that the world is changing. When wasn’t it? But the pace of change seems to be accelerating. The skills required of senior marketers are also changing. And consequently, so is the support you require. In this information-packed Levitt Group event we will give you an insight into what may hit you next and where to find the help you may need.

Our speaker liner-up includes:

• Chris Daly, chief executive of CIM, who will unveil CIM’s latest research into ‘The Value of Marketing’ and CIM’s strategy for the future.
• Sarah Speake, Global Marketing Director, Truphone & Advisory Board at Pimp My Cause – So you want to be a CMO? Sarah will tell us where she thinks future CMOs will come from and what skills they will need. Do you have what it takes?
• Maggie Jones, Associate Director of Qualifications and Partnership, CIM, will tell you how to get what it takes if you haven’t got it already!She will also talk about CIM’s new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) system and how to use it. It’s not a box-ticking exercise – it is development, just as it ‘says on the tin’.
• Mike Holland, Chair of the Levitt Group, will offer a helping hand. Learn how the Levitt Group can support your development through CPD.

But don’t just sit there quietly, we’ll finish with an opportunity to ask questions and start a debate about the future, about the role of CIM and Levitt Group and about the CPD system. This is your chance to talk directly to the people responsible for running these organisations. There will also be a buffet and time to network before and after the formal sessions – Levitt Group Members are all senior marketers.

If you are not a Member of CIM, don’t worry! Professionals who may find the event interesting and informative can come as my guest – just let me know – though there is a cost of £45 for the event.
