As a new business, it can sometimes to feel impossible to reach established brands and corporates. Even when you know your offering could be of massive value to them.
Jim will talk about things from the other side of the table, what brands are looking for, what challenges they face and how to grab their attention. He’ll also spill the beans with examples of how SMG brands have worked with startups in the past, together with upcoming opportunities.
Take this chance to meet Jim and to talk to him informally over dinner about what you’re working on.
