Marketers across the South West are being asked their views on the future of the marketing profession at two CIM Future Focus events in the South West next month (December).

CIM, the world’s leading professional marketing body, is touring the UK and beyond, taking the temperature of the marketing profession – including a visit to Bournemouth on 8 December and Bristol on 9 December.

Thoughts and ideas gathered will then form the discussion strands of  CIM’s Marketing 2025 Hackathon that will take place during 2015 – the hackathon is an online www.marketing2025.com  open-innovation initiative which brings people together to develop solutions to current and future challenges and disruptions. The big questions facing marketers between now and 2025 will be debated.

The events being held in the South West will help kick start these discussions. Attendees will hear from CIM marketers and local representatives on ‘what's keeping them awake at night’ and have the opportunity to raise their own big issues.
