About this Event
Northern Heroes: The Good, the Bad & the Algorhytm


Performance marketing on LinkedIn:
“AI is transforming everything.”

Performance marketing in real life:
“Why is this campaign spending £4k a day on broad match?”

Let’s talk about it.


For our next Performance Academy event we’re putting three brilliant Northern practitioners on stage to talk about what’s actually happening inside paid media accounts right now


Expect chat about:

  • what’s actually working in PPC right now
  • the mistakes marketers keep making
  • where AI is helping… and where it’s causing absolute chaos
  • AAAAAAAND the weird stuff we're just bloody nosey and nerdy about


Then at the end we’ll bring everyone back on stage for a live panel where we’ll tackle some bigger industry questions and rage-bait hot takes.


And because we can’t take ourselves too seriously, we’ll finish with a quick round of Higher or Lower: Paid Media Edition.

and yes, there will be a prize!


Who Should Come

This event is for people who actually work in paid media.

PPC specialists
Paid social marketers
Ecommerce teams
Agency folks
In-house teams

Basically anyone who spends their days inside ad platforms and occasionally thinks:

“Surely it’s not just me dealing with this nonsense?”
