After the success of its first conference on ‘Fast Strategy’ the IPA Strategy Group, with News International, is to host a follow-up conference on the 1st October. The conference will address one of the greatest pressures on our industry today; the demands of arriving at good answers fast. The conference will test strategy-at-speed and examine ways in which ‘Fast Strategy’ can benefit the communications industry.
During the conference, leading communications experts including Kate Stanners, Creative Director at Saatchi & Saatchi, Amelia Torode, Planning Director at VCCP, and Dave Trott, Creative Director at Chick Smith Trott, with the teams (of their choice), will compete against each other to answer a live brief. The contestants will have no previous knowledge of this brief and will then pitch their ideas - on stage that afternoon - for the audience to judge who the fastest strategist is.
Throughout the morning, whilst the teams prepare for their afternoon pitch, leading strategists from across the industry will elaborate on how developing strategy fast is changing the way we do business and present top tips for how they think at speed.
Speakers include:
Adam Morgan, Founder, Eat Big Fish
Rita Clifton, Chairman, Interbrand
Orlando Hooper-Greenhill, Director of Global Planning, JWT
Richard Storey, Chief Strategy Officer, M&C Saatchi
Sarah Bussey, Strategic Planning Consultant, IPA
Jeremy Griffin, Head of News, TimesOnline
