‘The Breathless Business’ – Tech Heads 2017 launch event

In today’s lightning-fast market, do you ever get the feeling that you’re struggling to achieve your goals, despite feeling like you’re operating in fifth gear? You're not alone!

In fact, according to our research, 61% of marketing and comms directors routinely work longer than their contracted hours and 65% feel more stressed than they did a year ago.

Competitive changes and choice are driving delays in decision-making and putting marketing and comms directors under increased pressure to meet business challenges with innovation and creativity.

Breathless Businesses are running at a million miles an hour just to keep up and, all too often, the focus is on getting things done rather than acting effectively. Join us to find out what you can do to keep your competitive advantage and meet those ever changing objectives.

The Breathless Business event, part of our long-running Tech Heads series, will explore why B2B marketing and comms directors – and the businesses they target – are victims of a world that has gone into hyperdrive. It’s a chance to stop for a moment and learn from the findings of our annual survey of B2B marketing, PR directors and buyers in the technology and professional services sectors.

Our inspirational keynote speaker is Jamie McDonald. With many a breathtaking adventure to his name, Jamie is keen to share his story about beating the odds and proving that we are capable of achieving more than most of us know.

This event is for senior marketers and comms professionals who want to:

• Learn how to devise strategies that will cut through the noise
• Break down the barriers to growth
• Dominate the competition
• Have the confidence to invest in campaigns that deliver over the long term, rather than the short term.

So why not catch your breath and join us on the morning of the 23rd March at Asia House in London. It’s an event that will open your mind to a new way of thinking and, more importantly, provide expert insight into how best to meet your goals. You’ll also receive a complimentary copy of ‘The Breathless Business’ research report.
