The IPM runs a variety of events during the year which IPM members can sponsor and which offer opportunities to talk to senior decision makers at agencies and client companies in an informal setting.
You can view a schedule of IPM events for 2012 here, so why don't you take a quick look and let us know if you are interested in any of the events on offer?
To give you some idea of the range of the events we're running – from the formal through to the very informal – here's a selection:
MobileMarketing:2012
Now in its third year, our annual mobile marketing event will take place on 24 April 2012 at the Old Courthouse Cinema in Soho (www.courthouse-hotel.com/cinema/index.html). It attracts both agency delegates and household brands, and features keynote speakers, case studies, research and some really left field thinking about what's coming next – the Singularity, anyone? Take a look at last year's event at www.mobile-mktg.co.uk. You don't have to be a mobile service provider to be a sponsor, either - we've had a real variety of businesses who just appreciated the audience the event delivered, ranging from pen suppliers to risk management providers!
Cost is £2k
IPM Urban Netball Tournament / Dodge ball
We are launching either a new "urban netball tournament" or "Dodge ball" this summer and we're looking for a main sponsor who wants to engage with a dozen or more teams from the UK's leading agencies who will be competing. It'll be cut-throat, competitive, fun and memorable – just the sort of thing to get your name in front of the right people agency-side.
Cost is £2k to £3k
The COGS Awards
The COGS Awards may be given out to service partners, but during the voting process, more than 1,500 people from brands and agencies will participate and will see the sponsor's name and logo. There is an opportunity to engage further with the the online voting campaign for the COGS, with an opt in to receive information on your company on the online voting form. Please note that other sponsors will be involved. Last year's event details are at www.cogs-awards.co.uk.
