Dear subscribers,
27 April 2017
 
Over 700 water leaders came together in Madrid this week at what I consider to be THE event focusing on the business of water: “Global Water Summit” organized by GWI. The Water Network is proud to be a Media Partner of this event.

Trends in Digitalization was one of the key roundtable topics. One trend in this area came across as universal - the move away from ads, print and direct sales forces to digital. Content-led digital marketing and thought leadership by engagement in platforms like The Water Network are the future. 

If you are in the process of evaluating your digital promotion strategy - talk to us.

Kind Regards,
