We are delighted to invite the marketing community to join us in our 2021 Marketing Breakfast Series in partnership with MCCP. Joining us for our September Breakfast is Ruth Bailey, CEO at VIGO Health
VIGO Health – New Brand, New World, New Beginning.
Ruth will guide you through the launch of VIGO Health, a new health and wellbeing solution during the pandemic. The journey of creating a new market, securing start-up funding, building the brand and the platform from scratch all while consumers were going through the most fundamental behavioural shift regarding their need for healthcare in decades.
The Marketing Breakfast Series was a sequence of early morning events held in central Dublin exploring marketing themes and practices in a wide range of different areas. Due to the challenges of 2020, the series went online. Our collaboration with MCCP this year will bring an overall theme of “Navigating Recovery” to be spread across eight breakfast events with top speakers from the profession.
