Direct access to campaign specialists

Attendees will work with category specialists, media planners and brand representatives across content, performance marketing, streaming, data intelligence and creative. Campaign recommendations will be developed around each business and its objectives.

Lou Barrett, News Australia Client Partnerships Managing Director, said the series was created in response to challenges raised by businesses seeking sustainable growth.

“The businesses we work with are investing heavily in performance marketing but are finding it increasingly difficult to stand out, build their brand and grow sustainably. The brands that will win are those that use content and data to make their advertising work harder. All Access brings together everything News Australia has to offer and gives businesses direct access to the specialists who can build a campaign around their goals on the spot.”
