Correct platforms

"There is no event in South Africa, where all in one day, three interdependent sectors of the media industry meet. The marketers who need insights on how to spend their budgets in the future, the strategists and media buyers who advise on how these budgets should be spent and the media owners, who hope to be providing the correct platforms to be receiving the money being spent." says Richard Lendrum, MD at Future Group - the event owners.

Keynote addresses will be presented by top media strategist Gordon Patterson and advertising commentator Andy Rice, with media commentator Jeremy Maggs as the host for this event. Delegates can also expect a 360 degree view of all six media pillars with presentations and panel discussions on radio, TV, magazines, newspapers, digital and out of home media lined up for the day.
