TESTIMONIALS

“We were delighted to meet with a huge range of members, partners, prospects, old friends and an
array of interesting folk at Prolific North Live. It was a very productive two-days for the PRCA, and we’ll
definitely be back in Manchester next year to support what is sure to be an even bigger event!”
Steve Miller MPRCA, Membership & Partnerships Director, PRCA

“We had an amazing two days exhibiting at Prolific North Live, even with the challenging weather
conditions. We had more visitors to our stand than last year, and the number of meetings already set
up and enquiries to work through has dramatically increased.”
Vicki Crosby, Sales Director, Fluid Branding

“We really enjoyed the experience and found it to be a really well run event. We got good traction at
our stand and also found the panel session to be very useful. The level of companies exhibiting and on
show was really impressive so it was great to be amongst it in that regard also.”
Alan Brennan, Sales & Marketing, VST Enterprises

“This was the largest exhibition that we have invested in to date, it was an exciting and anxious time
in the run up! But the audience profile seemed to align perfectly with our target markets, so we felt
confident that we would speak to the right people about our white label games.

The Beast from the East was obviously a surprise to us all, but the atmosphere was great as those who
made it embraced the cold! We had a great response to our stand, with our branded arcade machine
drawing lots of attention allowing us to have some great conversations with potential customers.

Having a slot in the Insights Theatre about ‘Creating a Connection with Games’ gave us great
additional pre-show coverage and allowed us to have a platform to showcase the the benefits of using
games in marketing strategies to a concentrated audience and was additional way to drive traffic to
our stand on the day. Our follow ups have been successful and were hoping to secure a few contracts
in the coming months.”
Cari Kirby, Marketing Manager, Team Cooper

“Prolific North Live was an important opportunity for us in terms of getting our brand out there. As a
young company it was a great to gain feedback on the brand in general and test the camaraderie of
the team. We also made some meaningful connections with a lot of potential partners and clients.
We’d definitely recommend signing up for next year!”
Georgia Halston, Founder, Halston Marketing

“PNL is a great flagship event for the North West creative and marketing sector. The Business
Marketing Club stand I was on attracted some great conversations and opportunities from contacts
we met not have met otherwise. Plus the event programme this year was multi-faceted and provided
a platform for some great thinkers to share their expert knowledge. Already in the calendar as a must-
attend next year.”
Max Clark, Director of Strategy, Upp B2B & NW Chair, The Business Marketing Club
