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

Jake Third, CEO of Hallam
