Netimperative Branding Roundtable

Topic: Branding – a year on!

In the last year’s roundtable we discussed the top 20 brand marketers and identified that there were still some big spenders not making an investment in interactive media. These included, for example, a couple of large furniture retailers. A year later have any of these top brands now started spending and are brands in general appreciating the value of online media for brand promotion?

What are Netimperative Roundtables?

Netimperative Roundtables jump on some of the key issues of the moment and create an atmosphere of debate, discussion and learning. They are designed to be provocative, fast-paced, highly current and draw on the latest breaking news as a stimulant for debate. Attendees go away with new contacts, ideas and a handy briefing on a sector they need to know about, all in under two hours, and with time to either get back to the office or carry on networking.

Only a small number of people – roughly 15 people - are allowed to attend. There are no advertisers, and no “death by power point” presentations.

Who should come?
Anyone interested in combatively debating and discussing the digital issues of the day and the wider implications these have for specific areas of  business in the UK and Europe.

Typical roundtable attendees include client firms, agencies, industry bodies, consultants, analysts and, where possible, national press journalists.

What happens?
Roundtables are hosted from 3pm to 5pm in a central London location within striking distance of transport links, usually in the West End of London.

3pm - 3:15pm     Registration & Networking
3:15pm - 5pm     Debate

The topic for discussion is set by Netimperative editorial, and is enhanced depending on the breaking news of the day. The idea behind this format is to allow participants to form their opinions on some of the hot issues of the day.

What do you get out of it?
- The chance to network with peers and experts in the sector and generate contacts.

- A round-up of the latest news and knowledge in a sector and handy briefing of information on a sector both to stimulate debate and to take away with you.

- The chance to debate the issues of the day.

- The chance to be quoted in a subsequent editorial article written after the event. This is not a formal report, but a round-up of the issues discussed and (where possible) including quotes from those attending.

When?
Roundtables run every month and will be announced in the events channel and newsletters. Sign up to our events newsletter at  http://www.netimperative.com/newsletters
