LEADING IN 2015 | LEADERSHIP & INNOVATION

 
Through our partnership with The Marketing Academy, AANA hosted an event with three extraordinary speakers from the UK that were here for a flying visit to lecture at The Marketing Academy Bootcamp.

One of the core strategic pillars of the AANA is to inspire and equip marketers to build strong brands and businesses. This year we will be bringing our members and guests some opportunities to gather around leadership and innovation.

This bespoke session for AANA Members and guests was a very special event, not only as it was a rare chance to get a taster of the calibre of the speakers at The Marketing Academy, but also because we hosted the event at the soon to be opened Telstra Customer Insight Centre, the world’s first truly immersive customer centre. Our thanks to Telstra, for their support and partnership around our agenda of leadership and innovation.
