Paul Laughlin was the first keynote speaker at a Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) conference in Cardiff.
Entitled the “Marketing Analytics & Creative Conference“, this event brought together marketers from both data & design disciplines. A core theme was to explore whether or not the growing emphasis on data & analytics for marketing was “killing creative“.
Speakers from both sides shared how data analytics & creative design are complementary, rather than mutually exclusive.
A write-up of the event, with key points from all speakers, is available on our blog:
