Businesses in Ireland are being encouraged by the Chartered Institute of Marketing Ireland (CIM) to ‘get their skates on’ for Marketing Week. This year it takes place from Monday 19th to Friday 23rd October with events throughout Ireland to celebrate and encourage marketing best practice in businesses of all sizes.
Already there are events planned in Belfast, Newry and Dublin with the flagship event ‘The Galbraith Lecture’ taking place on Wednesday 21st October at The Ulster Hall in Belfast.
The Galbraith Lecture honours the late Irish marketer, Frank Galbraith. He is remembered for his original thinking, his creativity and his unswerving commitment to marketing as a benign driver of society. This year’s keynote speaker at the lecture is Charles Nixon MBA FCIM FCAM FRSA. Charles Nixon is the founder of Cambridge Marketing College and is renowned throughout the marketing world for his professional expertise. He has many years of marketing experience, from government relations and market research to marketing communications and strategy.
Michael Maguire, Director of CIM Ireland said, “Businesses right across Northern Ireland should be encouraged to pay particular attention to marketing in times of economic difficulty instead of cutting back. Marketing is an essential element of any business success story. We are delighted this year to once again have a fantastic line up in place for Marketing Week with highlights including the ‘Galbraith Lecture’ in Belfast, ‘Capitalise on your Creativity’ in Dublin and a ‘Revenue Generation for Recovery’ Breakfast event in Newry.”
Michael Maguire continued, “There is still time for businesses to register an event or to attend one of those already featured. All events will be given supporting material and will be featured on CIM Ireland’s new website at www.cimireland.org .”
