Industry Bootcamp: Advertising Week NYC

September 28^th is a big day for Centro and the advertising industry. Today is day one of Advertising Week New York and we think this year will be the best yet. We’re in an industry on the move – as brands, agencies, publishers and the fast-growing tech sector wrestle with tough issues like ad fraud and data privacy.  At the same time we’re creating new ways to engage and inspire consumers across all the moments that matter, making New York the place to be this week.

Advertising Week 2015 features some of the best and brightest in advertising, technology and pop culture. Taking center stage will be Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook,  Dascha Polanco from the hit show Orange is the New Black, TV host and producer, Ryan Seacrest, and Doug Ellin, creator of  Entourage.

Centro is thrilled to be a part of this exciting week! As a sponsor of AWNY’s Media Insights Breakfast, we welcome you to join us for breakfast on Wednesday and/or Thursday, where we will focus on sales tactics designed for the “always-on” consumer and how “large brands remain innovative and disruptive.”
