The AGENDA
Honestly, this collective of session leaders will make you think deeply about the marketing you do and the person you are. Be prepared to challenge your current thinking as you hear stories and ideas from world-class marketing minds.
After each session, there is space for 15 minutes discussion on the ideas presented in small groups. Learn further from your peers and set a new path ahead.
BizPaul: Why now is the time to challenge everything
BizPaul welcomes you to MarketEd.Live 2023, sets the tone for the day and poses some questions on how you are going to challenge yourself and the marketing world.
John Thornton: Selling cereal on LinkedIn, and other nonsense
In the beginning, there was MySpace. Then Facebook and Twitter. And now there’s a hot, new social network on the scene. That’s right. LinkedIn.
Polly Buckland: Just Say No. How saying no can make you a better marketer
Maybe we should spend more of our time challenging what we ‘ought’ to do or what we’ve always done, what the client/senior management think they might want (rather than what they absolutely need). Saying no more is not only great for marketing outcomes, it’s better for the planet.
Joyann Boyce: Starting with bias might be the solution
In this session, Joyann will take you on a journey to explore how bias and AI can be leveraged to create inclusive and impactful campaigns.
Discover strategies which use bias as a tool for creativity, understanding audiences and AI content creation. Gain insights into the role of marketers in reshaping narratives, breaking stereotypes, and fostering positive change.
Janine Coombes: Why you shouldn’t ask your customers what they want
A fun examination of the reasons why you shouldn’t ask customers what they want when devising your products and services. Which questions you should ask. And why people would buy from you anyway?
Azeem Ahmad: Audio and video benchmarks don’t mean shit
Those industry benchmarks that tell you how much audio and video your marketing strategy aren’t worth the discussion with your manager or client. Azeem will show you how you can challenge everything you know about using multimedia formats in your marketing. You’ll leave being able to overcome objections from senior stakeholders about engaging in this type of activity. No budget? No problem – multimedia can deliver at little to no cost.
Liz Mosley: Why rejection is the only indicator your brand is working for your business
Is rejection such a bad thing? Can it harm your brand if you are unwilling to be rejected? Is it a symbol of ego and pride getting in the way of you doing your best, innovative and creative work? Liz reveals lessons from her personal mission of actively seeking rejection in her business and what you may learn from it.

THE VENUE@DMU
At the heart of a seat of learning. In the heart of England.
The Venue @ DMU is a purpose-built event venue in the fashionable West End of Leicester. Close to the city centre, and all amenities, MarketEd.Live 2023 will be accessible by public transport and by road, with plenty of hotels for all budgets within walking distance.
An unforgettable experience
MarketEd.Live is so much more than a conference.
With fun activities either side of the main event, you’ll have whole host of new friends and business connections in no time – and have a great time doing it.
Feedback from our attendees requested that we don’t include social activities as part of the event ticket, so that people get 100% of the ticket value from the content on event day.
But, we like a social gathering, so for those that also want to make the most of their time in Leicester, we’ll be arranging a get together the evening of Wednesday 6th September in Leicester City Centre, and post-event drinks on the evening of the 7th.
There’s a new karaoke bar in Leicester – let’s face it, we’ll probably end up there if you want to join us.


INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE
When it comes to marketing, you get out what you put in. So, if you’re sticking to the same old marketing and stale ideas then your outcomes… well, they won’t be great.

The expert sessions and facilitated follow-ups at MarketEd.Live 2023 will leave you generating oodles of ideas about how you can create the most effective environment to be more creative in the marketing you do. The results? You’ll improve the performance of your marketing and generate better results for your business.
