New: social ads and creativity at marketing clubs

Run jointly by CIM and universities, the Marketing Clubs introduced this year provide an opportunity for London marketers to learn new skills, challenge their thinking and share experiences with the next generation of marketing talent. Two new clubs hold their inaugural events this month. The London College of Fashion (part of University of the Arts) plays host to marketers and students on 20 November. Then a week later, the London South Bank University launches its marketing club on 27 November.
