WHO IS THE WORKSHOP LEADER? David Hughes runs an independent digital marketing consultancy, Non-Line Marketing, which helps clients get the most out of their on and off-line integrated communications. His experience of off-line direct marketing allied to over 10 years experience in digital marketing allows him to identify and exploit cross-channel opportunities. In a world where digital and traditional worlds are beginning to collide, David helps clients optimise both these techniques. Over the past 5 years David has been working at the heart of the digital marketing world. He is the Course Tutor for the Institute of Direct Marketing’s Diploma in Digital Marketing qualification as well as being a member of the Certificate and Diploma in Interactive Marketing Examination board and a member of their Digital Marketing Council.

He is the author of the DMA/tank! Email Marketing Benchmarking Report that provides insight into email key performance indicators on a quarterly basis. David works with a number of organisations, both B2B and B2C, helping them to understand and optimise digital marketing opportunities. He also works with technology providers and agency partners to add a “professional services” dimension to their offering. Working directly with clients, David exploits the opportunities that digital marketing creates from gathering profile data, developing testing strategies through to building and analysing contact and conversion strategies. His specialist knowledge of email marketing data, creative and broadcast technologies allows companies to “fast-track” their email marketing programmes so they deliver better results more efficiently. In 2006 the Chartered Institute of Marketing invited David to join their Faculty of Speakers of their Training Academy and David delivers in-company training and consulting for their client partners.
