Beyond Performance
Beyond Performance is a half-day event in partnership with Meta with talks, panels and interactive sessions on how to build effective brand-led paid media strategies that improve performance.
An event for senior marketers looking to enhance and adapt their paid media strategies.
As performance channels become more competitive and search adapts to new behaviour, brand is increasingly what determines the effectiveness of your media mix.
This exclusive half-day event with Connective3 and Meta will cover how to build effective brand-led paid media strategies that improve performance outcomes, not sit alongside them. We’ll cover how to structure media for long-term brand growth, how to build creative that captures lasting attention and how to measure impact in a way that supports business goals.
Through expert talks and networking opportunities, you’ll leave with clearer frameworks for justifying and building brand foundations in 2026.
*Please note these events are only suited to senior brand-side marketers. As spaces are limited, your place won’t be confirmed until a member of our team has been in touch.
