Fergal spoke about how Buymedia, their intelligent media buying platform, can help SMEs increase sales by improving their advertising planning, purchasing, management and monitoring across all media traditional and digital. Other events held during the week covered topics such as “Digital Tech & Future Media”, “Sourcing Angel Investment to Scale”, “Building a Successful Content Marketing Strategy” and “Building Your Brand — Storytelling, Immersive Technology and Communication”.
