The Marketing Show is a new event that has been conceived and organized by The Alpha Quadrant Ltd., a UK based company.

The idea for The Marketing Show came from two perceptions about the world of marketing, i) that it is becoming increasingly difficult for marketing professionals to stay current with all the new marketing practices and marketing communications developments that are seemingly being announced daily, and ii) that it would be very useful for many people to be able to attend a single information event covering all the important developments a marketing professional should know about.

The Marketing Show was conceived and co-founded by Neil Gibbons and Tom Garrahan.

Neil Gibbons has over 25 years of international marketing management, executive management and leadership experience in FMCG, and financial services technology sectors. In addition to almost 15 years experience in brand-management with US multi-nationals, Neil has refined his marketing experience working a range of industries from financial services to technology start-ups. In addition, Neil has held the position of President and CEO for 3 publicly-listed and privately held entities over recent years. Neil gained an MBA from IMD, Lausanne and is a qualified Executive Coach. Neil’s email contact: neil@marketing-show.com
