Hugh Burkitt, CEO of The Marketing Society said: “At The Marketing Society we are constantly asking ourselves what makes a great marketing leader and now we’ve expanded into Asia we want to ensure our Asia members have the same amazing opportunities as those in the UK. This along with our impressive calendar of events, ensures we inspire our members to become bolder marketing leaders.”
