Stephen Paxton, founder of the event, said, ‘This year’s keynotes will examine, analyse and break down ‘radar-worthy trends’ to help you improve how you market and communicate in this new and constantly evolving era, and that there is a definitive need for marketers to stay one step ahead.’

Paxton concluded, ‘Simply put, our world is in flux. Customer needs, your company’s offerings, consumer perceptions, competition, technology and design styles are all constantly evolving, which is even more reason for marketers to attend this event. Choosing to stay on ‘the same steady course’ and relying on the same average marketing strategies, day in and day out, will most certainly not lead to fast growth and/or effective campaign delivery. ‘Just like a runner keeps running, marketing should never stand still’.’
