On Thursday 23 May we held a Front Foot dinner, supported by Google, where members of the network gathered for an exclusive preview of the next in our Advertising Pays series – Advertising Pays 7, on the story of the digitalisation of UK advertising which will be launching in the coming weeks.

The evening also featured a panel which was facilitated by our Chief Executive Stephen Woodford and included Ronan Harris, VP, Google UK & Ireland, Karen Fraser MBE, Director of Credos, Claire Enders, Founder of Enders Analysis and Tracy De Groose, Executive Chair of Newsworks.
