Survive & Thrive as an In-House Marketing & Creative Renegade

Join us on Thursday, May 18th for our Speaker Series with Maresa Thompson.

Working in-house presents particular challenges for marketing and creative professionals. Often you are a department of one or very few with an enormous amount of tasks and responsibilities. Juggling different priorities, deadlines, and personalities can be overwhelming. She will encourage you to fly your freak flag because you think differently than your colleagues. She recommends you find partner vendors and associations (like AAF) that help you expand your horizons and grow with other creatives.

Maresa spent 20+ years as an in-house creative and marketing professional and will share some hard-won lessons on how to survive and thrive in the high-pressure boundary-breaking environment that is often in-house.

THIS EVENT IS FOR YOU IF:

You are an in-house marketing/creative professional or you are on the agency/media side that works with in-house folks. This presentation will give you insights into how to be a great partner to your clients.

Registration Ends May 11, 2023. Limited Seats Available.
