Advertising Week Europe is the continent’s premier event and thought leadership platform focused on marketing, media, technology, and culture.
Taking place this week in London between 1st-3rdApril, it brings together senior figures from the world’s most innovative companies across advertising, technology, and marketing to explore the issues shaping the creative industries – worth £125 billion to the UK economy annually and employing over 2.8 million across the country.
The creative industries are a rare example of a sector that thrives across the whole of the UK, with diverse and successful clusters found in Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Belfast.
To coincide with this year’s event, today’s Market Open of The London Stock Exchange was held to celebrate the economic and cultural impact of the sector and its role as a major catalyst of growth – a space where the UK is genuinely world class, where its skills and capabilities are held in the highest regard globally, and one where there’s huge potential to scale further.
