Tim Devine, creative technologist with STW Group’s agency DT,  will share his story at next month’s SAGE – Secrets of Agency Excellence – conference, organised by Mumbrella’s sister marketing intelligence tool The Source.

The one day masterclass takes place in Melbourne on November 20 and Sydney on November 21. Devine will present at both events, discussing the crossroads between creativity, technology and marketing. He will also discuss best practices in the types of collaboration needed to deliver complex technology-focused marketing ideas.

Devine will also be showcasing some of his inventions and speaking on how the agency works with its clients and collaborating agencies.
