About this Event
EVENT DESCRIPTION
The ‘collab’ has become a feature of contemporary consumer culture, easy to write off as a cynical marketing trick to ramp up demand. But genuine, constructive collaboration is a route to fresh innovation, insight and meaningful long-term relationships. The pandemic has also alerted us to the possibilities of ‘virtual’ collaboration as digital tools have made working together easier, quicker and cheaper. How will creative companies embrace the new possibilities of physical and virtual collaboration?
