Politics and Business
Hosted by the Marketing and Media NetworkThe boundaries between business and politics have never been more blurred than they are today. And if you work in either a large part of your purpose is package your message and present it to your chosen audience to hopefully get them to think, feel or do something.
Join us for a night of enlightened discussion from two political and corporate communication experts that will be sharing their war stories from political campaigns in Australia and the UK and how they now apply these skills to their business careers.
