    This event is fully booked

    *** This event is only available for Levitt Group members, Fellows, Chartered Marketers, and CIM members (MCIM) undertaking the CPD program with a view to become a Chartered Marketer ***

    As we hurtle towards a new decade, Professor Mark Ritson shares his suggestions for getting marketing, branding and advertising to deliver in the Twenties. 

    Mark will review much of the current evidence surrounding effectiveness and presents an applied, humorous and fundamentally useful guide to achieving marketing success in the future. For all senior executives in marketing he'll lift the lid off the hyperbole, hype and narrow enthusiasm for techniques that may or may not become the defining marketing standard.

    Expect to be, in equal measure, informed, educated and amused, so you will leave with a strong insight and some understanding of what the next ten years might hold. 

    This lecture also marks the 30th Anniversary of the Levitt Group's formation.
