One of MAD//Fest’s many New Year’s resolutions, alongside this year’s festival being the best yet, is to ensure that our weekly newsletter features diverse voices, fantastic opinion pieces and discussion of the issues that matter most to the marketing community. 

Therefore, we have recruited a few of the great and the good to be regular contributors and columnists for the MAD//Fest newsletter. During a time of seismic and exciting change, each week they’ll provide you with their distinctive views and unique perspectives on the industry we all love.

Last week we had Vicki Maguire talk optimistically about how the past two years are kick-starting a wave of creativity. This week’s newsletter sees WW VP Growth and Performance Marketing Tony Miller make his debut in a piece praising several brands for driving loyal communities who will be “the bedrock of any brands marketing strategy”.
