Industry Events

Industry Events

Among the 150 clients we've worked with since 2014 are many industry events. Across Europe, our campaign strategist Ben Kempas has delivered keynotes, masterclasses, consultations, and multi-day workshops – mostly in person, and more recently also online.

"I have had the pleasure of working Film & Campaign on several occasions, including running workshops on building outreach campaigns. It has been a real joy and fruitful experience, both from a personal and professional point of view. I highly recommend others to work with Film & Campaign if you need to strategise for a campaign, run your outreach or want to get educated in this field." – Ove Rishøj Jensen, Documentary Producer and Consultant, Copenhagen / Malmö
