On what has been hailed as the hottest day of the year so far, we hosted our second edition of Leeds Loves Search as part of the Leeds Digital Festival. We were joined by 100 marketers and four awesome speakers at Duke Studios for an afternoon of insight into digital marketing.
We managed to pull ourselves away from the sun (and the beer garden at Duke Studios) to enjoy talks on AI, link building, PPC automation, analytics and more. Our speakers from Home Agency, Epiphany and Branded3 provided the audience with lots of actionable advice and plenty of helpful take-aways.
We would like to say a huge thanks to our wonderful speakers and Shelley Walsh from ShellShock UK who delivered brilliant talks and fielded questions in the crazy heat. Below is an overview of where to find the slides from the talks and you can also watch the conference in full here.
