Speakers

Our Headline Sponsor – Zoho UK

Josh Pope from Zoho UK - Beyond Brand: Navigating the Marketing and Sales Funnel for Success
Josh, a Regional Account Manager at Zoho, works with UK businesses to help them overcome the challenges they may encounter with the day to day running of their business. In his session, he will explore the relationship between the marketing and sales funnel and offer insights into how to get the most out of them. 

Dawn Edwards, from Challenge Consulting - Shining a light on Brilliant Leadership by building a compelling Personal Brand
Dawn Edwards, managing director of Challenge Consulting - Effective leadership and strategic management insights can be directly linked to the creation of branding brilliance, as they guide a company in cultivating a strong organisational culture, fostering innovation, and aligning brand values with customer expectations.

Eldon Chinyamakobvu, Director of Auto Everything - Revolutionise Your Brand with the Power of AI
Eldon Chinyamakobvu, an artificial intelligence expert - Incorporating AI into branding strategies requires careful planning and integration, but when done right, it can lead to more consistent, data-driven, and customer-centric branding efforts, ultimately contributing to branding brilliance and long-term success.

Jonny Prest from Seed Creativity - Remodelling your brand for Net Zero
Jonny Prest, Strategy Director at Seed, explores how understanding and empathising with our audiences can create campaigns and content that have a better chance of motivating positive behaviour change. To get to Net Zero we need creativity. Brands must be hyper-connected and deliver stories that are more thoughtful and constructive. Conversations about climate change and environmental wellbeing are often unnecessarily polarised and clouded by conflicting information and confusing stories.

Greg Simpson, The Experts' Expert - PR as a foundation to Branding Brilliance
Public relations insights serve as the strategic foundation upon which branding brilliance is built, shaping a brand's image, reputation, and connection with its audience. Learn how to think like a Journalist and become a media asset, not a marketing liability.
