DUBAI LYNX WELCOMES THE FUTURE LEADERS OF MARKETING
POWERED BY STARCOM MEDIAVEST GROUP
22 January 2013 – The Dubai Lynx International Festival of Creativity, which takes place from 10-13 March at the Madinat Jumeirah, is once again welcoming the future leaders of marketing to take part in a dedicated learning programme.
The newly named Dubai Lynx Future Leaders of Marketing, powered by Starcom MediaVest Group, will offer up to 20 places to the under 30’s working in client organisations. An intensive programme focusing on the importance and relevance of creativity in brand communications and strategy, the participating young marketers will be taught current market trends, a better understanding of the client-agency relationship, as well as skills and best practices needed to accomplish more outstanding communications for their brands. Specific topics which will be focused on include: why creativity matters for today’s successful brands; creative effectiveness; the impact of digital; the modern brand; and managing the creative process.
A tailored two-and-a-half day programme will see a dedicated tutor leading the group through tailored sessions, discussions and presentations, all related to engaging consumers with the creative marketing of brands. Alongside this, the group will also benefit from all that the Festival has to offer, from outstanding content to unmissable networking opportunities.
Emma Lancaster, Festival Director of Dubai Lynx, comments, “Learning programmes like this are an essential part of what Dubai Lynx does, which is not only to award the best of the region’s creativity, but also to provide essential training, education and inspiration to the industry and investment in the future generation. We look forward to providing this year’s participants with an unrivalled experience.”
Talking about the programme, Mark Hamilton, Client Managing Director of SMG MENA & VP SMG Global Product Council, says, “There has never been a more exciting time to be in marketing, and that is especially true within the MENA region given its rapidly evolving landscape. However with change comes complexity, and we understand that marketers of today are faced with so many new challenges and choices that it can seem they are drowning in a sea of data. This is where we see the opportunity to create a tailored programme in partnership with Dubai Lynx that will inspire and future-proof our leaders of tomorrow.”
Nisha Primlani, Regional Director- Marketing & Communications adds, “Starcom MediaVest Group’s exclusive partnership with Dubai Lynx is built on a shared vision and a strong commitment to promoting creativity and inspiring new thinking. With this collaboration, we aim to further foster pioneering achievements at the Festival while reinforcing SMG’s spirit of winning as an agency, together with our clients and with the industry as a whole.”
