Most importantly, what is advertising and marketing today? This event will provide a solid point of reference from where they can make proper decisions and not blindly jump on the bandwagon," added Ambrose.The first round of first-in-class speakers and panelists includes:Paul Roebuck CEO Singapore and Malaysia Saatchi & SaatchiRobert Zepeda Founder/CEO PlaybasisHenry Stokes Director Client Development (APAC) XaxisArshan Saha Director SEA XaxisHo Kay Tat Group CEO and Publisher The EdgeJames Hurman Author of The Case for Creativity and CEO Young & Rubicam NZDean Dacko SVP Marketing Malaysia AirlinesChow Wei Heng VP Marketing GentingRoderick Strother Director Digital and Social Centre of Excellence LenovoYvette Lim IMC Director Singapore and Malaysia Coca-ColaA+M Spin & Spiel will take place on 27-28 November in Kuala Lumpur.If you are interested to attend as a delegate, speaker or sponsor, please contact Mac Ambrose maca@marketing-interactive.com.
