A global conference for marketers: Inclusive brands, inclusive leaders
We’ve been Creative Equals’ event partner since the inception of RISE in 2018.
We delivered the conference both in-person and online since then, growing from 150 attendees in 2018 to over 550 virtually in 2021 and 400 in person from 2022-2024. Each year we book and brief all the speakers, including David Lammy, Gina Miller, Caitlin Moran & Reni Eddo-Lodge (to name a few). We also manage all the sponsorship agreements and fostering relationships with companies, including Spotify, Google & Facebook.
In 2021, we brought the event online and managed to maintain the intimate, personal, feeling that RISE creates, allowing attendees to have a safe space for open and honest conversations.
Every year, RISE leaves a lasting impression on those that attend. We’re excited to take this event from strength to strength in the years to come.
RISE is about more than just one day; it’s an ongoing movement to accelerate the pace of change in creative leadership each and every day.
