IMU BREAKFAST SEMINARS LAUNCHED
In amongst World Cup fever and spending our weekends in festival fields, we’ve been busy planning a series of breakfast seminars, showcases and workshops themed around brands and music. They’re intended as a no-nonsense guide to the issues relevant to the area in which we all operate.
Entitled “Music – Brand Partnerships: The Independent Angle”, our first seminar took place on the 29th July at Mortons Private Members Club.
Thanks to all those who came along – it was a cracking turnout. Check back in the coming weeks for info on our next event.
If you’re interested in finding out more about our seminar and workshop events, contact Ruth Clarke ruth@imu-hq.com or Becks Robertson becks@imu-hq.com
