About this event

On Wednesday 24th June, join Hallam and CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing) at 31K in Nottingham city centre, to get into the weeds of the reality of AI transformation
in marketing departments. With a talk from Hallam’s CEO, Jake Third, and a discussion with Hallam’s Head of Operational Transformation, Beth Sharma, plus a Q&A and networking, the idea of the session is to practically understand how AI is actually impacting, helping and hindering your marketing function.

AI is reshaping marketing, but most AI initiatives fail because of poor rollout, not poor technology. This talk gives marketing leaders and managers
a candid look at the realities of AI rollout inside teams. The resistance. The mistakes. And the practical steps that build trust and momentum.

You’ll leave with clear, practical frameworks
for implementing AI initiatives that keep humans at the centre – strengthening human judgment, creativity and intuition.

Plus enjoy tea, coffee and pastries on arrival!

Free to attend

in marketing departments

Jake Third, CEO of Hallam

Jake’s talk covers the reality of AI transformation in marketing departments from his own experience as a CEO, as Hallam partners with marketing teams of all shapes and sizes. His talk also touches on where AI transformation is done badly, and how layoffs are a leadership decision, not an definitive end.

Beth Sharma, Head of Operational Transformation at Hallam
