Marketers and Money 2024

That’s a wrap for Marketers and Money 2024, but there’s plenty more we want to show you. Watch this space for session briefs, highlights, full videos, and reminders of what you might have missed.

Why Marketers and Money?

In 2024, marketing is about more than media metrics and creative flair. Although, as we learnt at the event on August 1, these two disciplines are still at the heart of what good marketers do. But we were also convinced that marketing done well is increasingly about capital allocation and building financial credibility with the C-Suite.

Marketers and Money is a conference designed to change the way you tell the story of your marketing results. It’s all about providing the tools, credibility, and inspiration you need to manage your marketing budget like the investment that it is.
