ACE - Association of Circulation Executives

On Thursday, our Empower delegates showcased their fantastic final presentations at DMG Media HQ in Kensington, leaving a lasting impression on both the audience and our esteemed judging panel, including Shaun Jones (DMG Media), Lauren Holleyoake (Grazia), Ben Oakden (Marketforce), and Andrew Wood (Waitrose). Empower is a 6-month, 20-module course designed to develop emerging talent within the Newspaper and Magazine industry. From editorial creation to delivery to readers, delegates get a behind-the-scenes look at how the industry operates. With top experts from the UK and abroad, delegates gain real-world insights into industry challenges and innovations. Over the past six months, delegates have heard from over 30 speakers, gained insights from leading publishers like Hearst, Reach, and The Guardian, and explored everything from subscription strategies to sustainability. They’ve also focused on personal growth, with sessions on influencing others and presentation skills. Huge congratulations to the winning team - Team Renegade for their outstanding presentation! And big thanks to our incredible mentors - Selina Rothwell Gemma Heavens (Campbell) Sarah Berry Sam Ricketts #Empower #IndustryLeaders #EmergingTalent View all the photos from the day here https://lnkd.in/ef23gdCt
