Gatherings

Community is the origin and heart of purpose disruptors.

Purpose Disruptors started in a pub. Our co-founders, all ex ad-industry insders met to discuss the tension they felt working in marketing, advertising and media.

We’ve been running gatherings online and in-person for 4 years. Ranging from 15 people in a pub, to hosting 200 leaders and changemakers at our Earth Day Summit.

Connection and community is everything, it gives us hope and fuels action. We hope you can join us.

Towards Reimagining Advertising Webinar, Thursday 11th July

With 12 changemakers from diverse parts of the advertising system—including creative agency AMV BBDO, media owner Channel 4, awards body D&AD, insights agency Kantar, brand NatWest, and media agency OMD— we collectively envisioned the future. We asked, how do we transform the industry to support a thriving future in practice?

Our groundbreaking report: Towards Reimagining Advertising outlines the ideas, discoveries and recommendations from this journey.

Join us for a special webinar as we delve into the key findings and hear from 3 of our key trailblazers applying futures thinking on-the-ground.
