Last week, v3 welcomed industry leaders to our London studio for the latest Future Now summit. It was an engaging morning for all, with three brilliant panels and plenty of lively discussion, all focused on how to hack growth with brand.
Future Fearless: Financial Times The summit kicked off with Tia McPhee, Global Brand & Partnerships Director at the iconic FT, in conversation with our Strategy Director Sarah McGuigan. In a world where technology and consumer expectations change swiftly, Tia stressed the need for brands to stay bold if they want to stay ahead of the curve: “We have a stronger voice now. We’re fearless.”
B2B Growth: Noventiq & Wipro Switching to B2B growth, Rocio Herraiz Zulueta, Head of Global PR & Brand Communications at Noventiq, and David Keene, CMO Europe at Wipro, shared their insights with our Partner Liam Hamill. Rocio talked about sustainable growth starting from within, while David invited audiences to think differently about customer relationships: “B2B isn’t individual-to-individual, it’s many-to-many.”
Staying Iconic: High Street, High Stakes - WHSmith and John Lewis We ended the day by hearing two very different perspectives from iconic brands of the British high street.
