The Media Leader Club to bring together industry’s most influential minds

The Media Leader has launched The Media Leader Club to unite the industry in tackling key challenges and effecting positive change.

From provocative debates under Chatham House rules to smaller, intimate gatherings, the club will meet at multiple points throughout the year — all designed to be safe spaces for leaders to freely discuss key issues that The Media Leader should champion.

The initiative was first announced at The Year Ahead event on 9 January.

Leaders are invited to submit their application to join an exclusive network of the industry’s most visionary minds at top media organisations.

In its augural year, The Media Leader Club is open to just 150 select members. Applicants must be from an organisation within the media ecosystem and hold a senior role, whether that is on the board, in the C-suite or as a senior director with P&L authority.

More details on the application criteria, as well as full membership benefits, can be found here. Entries close on 21 February.

Steven Scaffardi, managing director of Adwanted Events and The Media Leader, said: “This initiative was inspired by the Media Leader debates at our Future of Media events, where industry leaders came together to tell us the key topics we should champion for them as a publication.

“The success from those gatherings, coupled with the fact that for over 10 years we’ve championed the essence of exceptional leadership, leads us to believe we can be the perfect partner to continue those conversations on a more regular basis and act as a voice to drive industry success.”
