StartUp Britain and the Marketing Agencies Association invite you to join them again for Marketing 4 StartUp Britain 2012, 16th to 20th July.

The Marketing Agencies Association (MAA), a co-operative of the best of British marketing agencies, has teamed up with StartUp Britain for the second annual Marketing 4 StartUp Britain event. The event will consist of a week long seminars taking place across the country on a range of marketing issues facing start-ups in the UK.

Ian Millner, Chairman of the MAA says of the event: "Having done a start up myself, I know how vital it is that young entrepreneurs are given the advice, encouragement and inspiration necessary to get them started. The Marketing 4 StartUp Britain initiative will provide invaluable support for the new and would be businesses of Britain, through a free week-long event designed to demonstrate how marketing can help grow their business. Seminars and workshops will cover a range of subjects from social media and PR to direct and retail, delivered by some of the industry’s most successful entrepreneurs and marketing agencies”.
