Led by Martin Lane, CEO at Mumbrella, this session uses results gleaned from exclusive research, commissioned by Mumbrella, to discuss industry churn, how to combat losing good stuff, what marketers resent most about their jobs and the industry, and the best and worst local marketing campaigns, and what makes them loved or loathed.

Earlier this year Mumbrella conducted one of the most extensive pieces of research into what’s really happening in the communications industry. Polling more than 1000 respondents, the survey provides a fascinating snapshot of the issues currently faced by those at the cutting edge.

Other topics covered include: What is the number one worry for marketers? What is the industry’s biggest skills gap? Which social media platforms are really being used for marketing? Is the agency business model broken? Why do so many people want to leave the industry?
