MPG Noisy Thinking: Nobody ever got promoted for a brave media plan
7th October 2026 | 6pm-8pm BST | Live at Channel 4, London
We’re coming together for the second MPG Noisy Thinking and tackling this provocative and highly current issue, live.
​
The safe plan gets signed off in twenty minutes. The brave one gets three rounds of questions, creates a delegation of challenging stakeholders and foxes the benchmark database. We tell planners to be bold and then get them to operate inside a system – of guarantees, of industry norms, of post-campaign analyses that punish variance more than they reward upside – that quietly makes personal boldness a risk.
​
What would have to change for courage to be truly career-enhancing?
We’re bringing together some stellar industry speakers who all have skin in the game and are up for the fight.
​
Come along and hear them debate, fabulously MC’d by Lucy Verby. Have your say, have a drink, and help shape the agenda for us all.
