Description



The Internet Advertising Bureau is going ‘on tour’ to Manchester this year, hand-in-hand with some of the industry’s biggest names to discuss the online marketplace, plus the big challenges in the UK (& specifically outside the M25).


The internet is a vast and exciting medium, and our job at the IAB is show you exactly how to employ the range of disciplines it offers to welcome consumers into your world and establish a secure, and effective online presence. IAB Engage in Manchester will do just that. Although online has been traditionally used as a direct response channel, broadband has enabled richer and more engaging creative executions, so using the medium to build brands is a real opportunity.

We’ll be hearing from online experts such as Orange, BigMouthMedia, Microsoft, AOL, MediaVest Manchester and Code Computerlove as well as some of the UK’s leading brands. With new research, fantastic case studies and sessions on using search intelligently, integrating your brand with other media, behavioural targeting, social media and mobile, this is an essential event.
