Procurement bosses from three of Australia’s major brands will this month face an audience of agency professionals to reveal what they look for in an agency partner.
Presented by Mumbrella’s sister title, The Source, the Working With Procurement breakfast event will aim to debunk some of the misinformation and distrust that sometimes levelled at procurement teams.
The event is the final one in The Source’s 2014 New Biz Breakfast series. It will be held at The Establishment in Sydney on Wednesday October 22, and moderated by Darren Woolley, MD of industry relationship specialists TrinityP3.
Panelists will consist of Michael Sumner, Telstra’s GM of marketing and content services procurement; Mira Korhonen, Commonwealth Bank’s category manager – marketing, media and communications procurement; Alyssa Morley, Canon’s senior category manager, strategic procurement; and procurement consultant Jason Penrose, MD of Jamecam Consulting.
Issues to be to be addressed will include how agencies can stop procurement from being cost and savings-focused, how agencies should respond to procurement-managed pitches, and advice on the most effective ways to work with procurement.
