Google Marketing Live | GML2022

Google’s Marketing Live (aka GML2022) is an exclusive event. Google invite ONLY the who’s who of global performance marketing to an event that explores the latest in Google tools and innovations, the latest in market trends and behaviours, and it breeds an expert pool of Google professionals.

This year, our very own Managing Director and Head of Performance were called up for the invite-only event, and as a result, came back from Zurich with a host of new expertise to share amongst our teams.

See below for some key areas worth watching and some insider info from our Head of Performance, Chris:
