Our Topic

Last year, 15 local IMA chapters (including LVIMA) in markets across the country participated in a “first of its kind” national study.  The goal of the study was to assess the current state of relationships between leading agencies, brand marketers and media/technology solutions providers in an attempt to also better understand how media and technology priorities are changing.  Additionally, the study benchmarked the value, strengths and opportunity areas of local associations in these markets.  This breakfast will help you understand the wider agency/marketer/solutions provider relationships and will also help you find ways to more deeply participate in your own local LVIMA chapter.
