ADMA invited under-30s to meet the honchos
ADMA, the Association for Data-driven Marketing and Advertising, is organising an event for young members of the industry as a spin-off from its global forum.
The announcement:
Is RedBalloon’s workplace as fun as the experiences it sells? Why did Will Lavender strike out on his own? What’s a typical day like for Qantas’s Stephanie Tully? What’s it like working in an emerging market like Brazil for David Charles Whittaker?
Young marketers can find the answers to these and other burning questions they might have at Grill the Honcho, a special event for the under 30s being organised by the ADMA 30 Below National Committee. The event takes place at the ADMA Global Forum, Thursday 8th August from 2.00pm-4.00pm at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Speakers from some of Australia’s best-known companies will take a hot seat and let young marketers and advertisers grill them at length about their jobs and what it takes for a successful marketing career.
“The ADMA 30Below group in NSW holds a Grill the Honcho event every year as a way for young marketers to gain some thought-provoking insights into the industry. It’s always worthwhile for the young guns to meet industry-thought leaders,” said ADMA CEO Jodie Sangster.
Six honchos are confirmed at this time:
David Charles Whittaker, Managing Director, Digital & Direct, MarketData (Brazil)
Sheree Morrison, General Manager Business CRM, Telstra
Will Lavender, Founder & CEO, Lavender
Kristie Buchanan, CEO, RedBalloon
Emily Amos, General Manager, Customer Engagement, Woolworths Limited
Stephanie Tully, Chief Marketing Officer, Qantas Loyalty.
Young marketers can sit at one of several tables in the room which are hosted by a honcho and over the course of four rotations (15 minutes each) are able to ask the honcho anything they like. Tickets are $40.
Party on after the grill in the Innovation Zone
For an extra $35, young marketers can also attend the new Innovation Zone and the Innovation Zone Party, featuring live entertainment, food stalls and bars. Scheduled to play are the popular bands Art vs. Science and Vydamo.
The Innovation Zone is a marketing playground featuring the latest global tools, applications and technology.
