LEAD North Recap

LEAD North took place in Manchester last week. It’s organised by the Advertising Association with the aim of celebrating the advertising business in the North of England, and helping to build the creative community in Manchester and Leeds and beyond. It showed the depth of advertising talent across the North and its importance in our generally London centric business. APA Chief Executive Steve Davies chaired the panel The North’s Role as a World Class Creative Hub, with insights from Alixe Lobato, who is the Creative Director of APA member Flying Duck Studio, Imogen Tazzyman, the ECD of McCann Manchester and Ewan Douglas, Head of Sales and Development of Channel 4.
