Welcome to 2015!

2014 was a memorable year for the IMA: our annual conference, IMPACT14, held in September in Las Vegas hosted a record number of attendees and brought together a record number of partners and exhibitors who together reimagined marketing; we launched the IMA Research Lab (our latest report about the use of TV as advertising channel can be found below) and our popular podcast series on iTunes featuring a virtual who's who of marketing leadership sharing their perspective on best practices and trends. We ended the year with members and partners in over 111 countries, and dozens of additional members joining daily.

2015 is promising to be just as memorable, with many events and developments in store, starting with our first international leadership meeting in the Cayman Islands this April (details below).

Best wishes for 2015 from all of us at IMA.

Sincerely,

Patrick Boulard
COO and Head of IMA Research Lab
