When your personal stories, passions and interests become a business it can be challenging but also very rewarding. Meet the people who are leading change in Ireland and building valuable relationships and communities.
Influencers are a wealth of knowledge in branding, marketing as well as community building and personal connections. Brands and agencies are increasingly turning to influencers to help them connect with audiences to promote their products and services and to build audiences. How do the influencers, brands and agencies collaborate together, what is the process and what are the results? Our passionate and experienced panel will share their insights, expertise and forecasts for this growth industry.
