Capital Markets Event and Trading Update
Ascential plc (LSE: ASCL.L), the global business-to-business
information company is hosting a capital markets event in London
this afternoon.
The event will be hosted by Duncan Painter, CEO, and Mandy
Gradden, CFO, and will include presentations from key members of
management covering a deep dive into MediaLink and Money20/20 as
well as plans for the 2018 edition of Cannes Lions. No material new
information will be provided and the presentations will be
available on the Ascential website from 2pm GMT.
Last night, Cannes Lions launched the 2018 edition of the
Festival to its key stakeholders and the trade press. This launch
outlined initiatives to reinforce the core creativity purpose of
the Festival particularly with young creatives; a reorganisation of
award categories to better reflect the industry's current ways of
working; innovations in the award entry rules to increase the
variety of Lion-winning work; and a streamlining of content to
allow the Festival to take place over five days. Furthermore, we
were pleased to announce that the City of Cannes has worked with
local hotels and businesses to craft attractive offers for Cannes
Lions delegates. The response from Cannes Lions stakeholders to
this refreshed format has been encouraging.
Due to proximity of this capital markets event to the year end,
Ascential today confirms that the Group is trading in line with its
expectations, with the USA edition of Money20/20 held in October
recording another strong performance.
