As we bid farewell to another dynamic year in the ever-evolving digital marketing landscape, Dall Alliance takes pride in summarizing a year marked by exciting projects, challenges, and a commitment to knowledge exchange.
At the forefront of Dall’s initiatives was a dedication to knowledge-sharing, a core value that defines our alliance. Two major gatherings took place in Split and Berlin, where discussions revolved around the central theme of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on the digital marketing industry. As always, our meetings provide member agencies a platform to exchange insights, discuss internal tools and technologies, and delve into future trends. Beyond the formal agenda, these meetings were more than just business engagements. They provided a unique space for intriguing conversations that extended beyond the realms of business, strengthening the bonds that make Dall more than just an alliance—it’s a community!
But what about our member agencies’ individual journeys? How was the year for them?
