Seventh Thought Leadership Digibate to focus on integration

The seventh Thought Leadership Digibate, hosed by Aegis Media, in conjunction with Bizcommunity.com, will debate and discuss the importance of integration in the way agencies operate. The event will be held on 3 August 2012 in Cape Town and will stream live on www.bizradio.co.za from 9.30am to 11am.

The free flowing discussion, moderated by Dawn Rowlands, CEO, Aegis Media Sub Saharan Africa, will look to cover the following topics:

The agency of 2013 - what does that mean?
Traditional terminologies versus the new wave of terminologies
What is an integrated agency?
How do we shift from traditional to integrated?
Do current agencies have to shift as clients are forcing them to shift, or is it the other way around?
How does the current traditional advertising agency manage this?
What is the state of competition between the agencies - do traditional BIG agencies have to compete with smaller more flexible agencies?

Panelists include:

Nic van den Bergh, trading director, Aegis Media SSA
Jono Swanepoel, executive creative & strategic director, LeftField
Craig Page-Lee, managing director, Posterscope
Awie Erasmus, account director, Ogilvy
Dave Bester, CEO, Bester Burke.
