19 April 2023   |   The Stanley Building London

We will be kickstarting our accelerated plans to market and as such will need a strong Partner community in support.

About the event

Magnolia has been solving content problems for many years - in fact over 20 of them. Customers such as Avis Budget Group started their multi-lingual journey with Magnolia in 2013, Tesco 2016,  Argos in 2017. Yet as a brand, Magnolia is still not a common one in the DXP/CMS landscape here in the UK. However, we continue to attract strong brands (RSPB, Post Office, Allwyn (National Lottery), Hastings Direct, Thomas Cook etc).... Why? And How can you help?

Kickstart has a parallel track - How the beautiful game (football of course) offers similarities in terms of competition, team and winning and as such the agenda represents the game in all its glory, told along the way by a talkSPORT broadcaster and an ex International Professional.
