“I can sit down with someone and tell them exactly what I need and I usually get about three to four articles out of each person I speak to. It is the most productive day of my year.”
David Venables PR Account Manager, Travel and Tourism Marketing
“IMM is brilliant. We get to meet with so many journalists and so many interested people. 56 appointments over two days. Where else can you get that?”
