Within the dynamic world of creative operations, one trend stands above all others. Companies are switching from the default setting of using external agencies to a purposeful consideration of which services will be best managed inhouse, and which externally.
David Wethey and ICP are hosting a unique six part course in collaboration with Henry Stewart Events to help you navigate the choices, decide what is best for your organization and get you started on the journey. In addition, we can help you improve your existing set-up to take advantage of best practice. The course starts on October 27th 2020 and runs over six sessions, finishing mid December.
Take a look at this selection of blogs and videos. We are adding to this on a weekly basis, so please check back.😊
