Fuel Lines Advertising Agency New Business Conference: October 8-9
October is soooo boring. NOT. Here is something to do that will help you grow your advertising agency’s client list.
Fuel Lines New Business Conference will be held in Nashville, TN on October 8-9. The Tennessee part is where the bourbon comes into play. But, that isn’t the reason you should attend. Here are a couple of other really good reasons. These are not necessarily in order of importance:
- I am a keynote speaker and I’d love to meet you in Nashville.
- Another great keynote speaker is the famous (infamous?) ‘Ad Contrarian’ author and blogger Bob Hoffman. Bob is one of the folks that added his humorous but oh so spot on insights to my book, “The Levitan Pitch.”
- You will get to see the smart Michael Gass of Fuel Lines and the well-read Jami Oetting of Hubspot’s Agency Post. Plus.
- You will spend a couple of days focussing on advertising agency new business to hear what works and to interact with other agency leaders to hone your agency’s new business program.
- Nashville is sweet in October.
