The full programme has just been announced, get ready for a busy and insightful day...

Not many people know this, but for twelve months in the early 90s, I was Neil Kinnock.

I was working as a copywriter for an agency that held the Labour Party account and it was my job to write all the long direct mail fundraising appeals on behalf of Mr Kinnock.

Our strategy was to build up the supporter base during the run up to the election and then send an unprecedented four mailings during the three weeks or so of run up to the election itself.

And actually, if I say it myself, the fundraising bit was fairly successful… the other bits of the campaign not so much.

Our two events, focusing on the creative industries and taking place as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week and Internet Week Europe are just around the corner!

Join us for free at Enterpising Fashion (Weds 14 Nov) and Enterprising Music (Fri 16 Nov) - we've got a super venue lined up as well as some brilliant speakers ready to share their knowledge with you.

Developing a Digital Strategy in a Social World took place on Weds 26th Sept at the Advertising & Marketing Hub at Facebook.

From web 2.0 to commoditisation of display advertising to sweeping changes of social media.

Tune into the livestream below and catch up with our expert line-up of strategists who handle some of the world’s leading brands as they navigate the rigours of a changing digital landscape. Panelists at this session included Sonia Carter (Kraft Foods Europe), Justin Pearse (Bite Communications), Johannes-Tobias Lorenz (McKinsey), Craig Hepburn (Nokia) and Alastair Duncan (Alternative Genius).
