IN:WA hosts the first live event of 2022
IN:WA is set to host the first in its series of live panel events addressing key issues affecting the local creative communications industry. Wednesday 23rd March will see The impact of covid-19 on the WA creative industry panel.
As Covid-19 hits its peak in Western Australia, WA’s creative industry is facing its biggest shake-up yet. For most, it’s been a steep learning curve and one that continues to influence how indie agencies and freelancers shape their business.
With a commitment to supporting independent WA agencies and freelancers, IN:WA’s first event of 2022 brings together a diverse panel to talk about the impact of Covid-19.
The live panel discussion will explore the changes, challenges and opportunities facing the creative communications industry of Western Australia.
Hosted by Block CEO and IN:WA Chair, Natalie Jenkins, the panel of guests will share their experiences and views on surviving and thriving during the Covid era.
● Get an insight into how agencies are overcoming challenges and opening up opportunities;
● Hear first-hand how our eastern-state counterparts survived one of the world’s longest lockdowns;
● Access invaluable advice on how to maintain morale, nurture agency culture; keep clients connected, and keep business moving;
● Step into the production world and find out how the local industry is adapting; and
● Join the live Q&A with our guest panel.
Joining the first-ever IN:WA discussion are guest panelists John Fairhead (Screen Industry Safety Consultant); Dan Bradley (Director of Experience Design at Principals); Sharni Ames (Head of Solutions at Hatched Media); and Rene LeMerie (General Manager – Growth at Bonfire); and Alex Paioff (Managing Director & Founder at Made In The Pile).
The online event is open to all WA independent agencies and freelancers. To secure your guest video link, register today via Eventbrite.
