During Advertising Week Europe 2022, which took place in London 17–19 May, Propeller Group asked a selection of leading industry figures some of the big questions on everyone’s minds.

Filming in the speakers lounge area, participants reflected on topics such as what the return of live events means to them personally, the hottest industry trends to keep an eye out for in the coming months and the advice they would give a younger version of themselves if they were at the start of their careers.

‘Vox Pops’ round ups are a mainstay of media and the phrase is Latin for ‘voice of the people’. It was wonderful to hear industry individuals we admire in such a strong voice and we look forward to reconnecting with contacts at many more events too as the world opens up again. Thanks to the organisers of Advertising Week Europe for a great three days.
