Get ready charity marketers, this Building Brands event is designed specifically for you. On 13th March 2027, we would love you to join us at Plymouth University.

Subjects that we will cover include: Marketing effectiveness principles; developing brand strategy; The power of bold creativity; Building your brand and driving donations in the digital spaces; how AI content production can help level the playing field and 2 world class charity case studies

Tickets are free because we get that every pound counts. If you'd like to make a donation for your ticket though, we'll be drawing one charity on the day who will be given all the ticket donation income - a prize worth getting!
