Thousands expected at maiden media expo
MORE than 100 companies have now signed up to sponsor and exhibit at ProlificNorthLive, the biggest ever media and marketing services event to be held outside London.
Also, over 2,500 delegates are expected to attend the showcase on February 2 at the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground.
In the past week alone Business Growth Hub, Stein IAS, markettiers, Creative Pioneers, Sky Adsmart, Airport Media, PixAngels, Nomadix Media, One Agency, Digicom and Juicy Media have all signed up to exhibit.
Nick Jaspan, the publisher of ProlificNorth said: “We have been delighted by the response – I honestly didn’t envisage so many companies and brands wishing to attend, as I thought the focus would be more on cross-media engagement, but their interest is very welcome and hugely encouraging.
“The objective was to stage the first ever cross media and marketing services expo in the North. London has dozens of specific sectoral events and is simply too big to stage a similar expo but as we all believe and know up here, there is a confidence and expertise up here which deserves celebration and more oxygen.”
Alongside the expo there will be a number of keynote sessions delivered by expert speakers covering digital, content, marketing and broadcasting.
In addition acclaimed former fund manager Nicola Horlick is chairing the day long Venture Funding session where several companies will be pitching for finance.
