Generation Academy unveils Christmas Retail Round-Up

Published on: 15th December 2020

A series of free webinars will cover a range of topics relevant to media and marketing professionals. 

Generation Academy, the weekly webinar programme from Generation Media, is gearing up for its Christmas Retail Round-Up this Thursday (17th December) from 11am.

Featuring a raft of recognisable faces, including Toy World’s very own John Baulch, Phil Geary from The Entertainer, Paul Reader from Toymaster, and Melissa Symonds from The NPD Group, host Jonathan Chambers will oversee an in-depth and hugely informative discussion on the state of the retail industry as the year reaches its end.

Topics will include the impact of Covid-19 on toy sales, the future role of the high street in retail, and how companies can maximise the impact of their toy marketing campaigns.

The invite for the event reads: “As a tumultuous 2020 draws to a close, join Generation Media as we host a panel of toy retail experts to assess the trials of tribulations of the year. Plus, with eCommerce now being at the forefront of retail advancement, we get the panellists’ opinions on what media channels really make a difference at the tills – both physical and virtual alike. This promises to be the last Zoom conference you really need to see in 2020!”

To sign up for Generation Academy, please email Jonathan.Chambers@generationmedia.co.uk who will provide joining instructions.
