Discussing the future of media
![Discussing the future of media](https://biz-file.com/c/1507/293887.jpg)
Leading the conversation on the global front, Jeremy Maggs recently sat down for an exclusive interview with arguably the most powerful man in advertising- head of global WPP, marketing and advertising giant - Sir Martin Sorrell.
On the home front, media veteran - Gordon Muller will be presenting the local perspective. Muller has an advertising career spanning over four decades and aptly refers to himself as 'Africa's oldest surviving content cartographer' and is indeed one of great minds in the home-grown advertising scene.
Also on the agenda are platform overviews followed by discussions about the six media components - Television, Radio, Newspapers, Magazine, Digital and Out-of-home. Each medium will be discussed in-depth with presentations across each talking point followed by a series of questions.
