How to shape a sustainable agency

CISL Sustainability Marketing, Brand and Communications Management course taster

As brands face rising pressure (and costs) to remain competitive while responding to economic, environmental, social and AI disruption, agencies have a critical responsibility to help them transition to business models that are genuinely sustainable, not just superficially ‘green’.  

Join the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) as they answer this pivotal question and equip you with the skills needed to build a future-ready agency that aligns sustainable growth, cultural influence and technological transformation in the age of disruption.

Expect to learn:

  • How agency models need to adapt to lead long-term, sustainable brand growth.
  • How to reposition the cultural influence advertising holds in the sustainability space.
  • How to lead an integrated sustainability strategy with purpose, ethics and innovation at its core.
