CEO STRATEGIES FOR GROWTH

The 2008 Fall Conference and Globes Awards Dinner,
October 19-21 at the Park Hyatt Hotel, Toronto, Canada 

Don't miss this opportunity to discuss the biggest question facing all CEOs today: “How do I grow and compete in these challenging times?” with your fellow MAA members and our distinguished speakers.

The marketing communications landscape is changing rapidly – global cost optimization and technological advances have affected all forms of our operating plans, especially how we engage and communicate with our clients and consumers. For most agencies, technology will have the greatest impact on our strategic thinking going forward and those agencies prepared to meet these challenges head on will be in a better position to take advantage of their competition in choppy waters.
