Strategic has announced that Markson Partners has joined Innovation Sprint London as an Industry Leadership Partner, reinforcing the event’s commitment to bringing together diverse leadership perspectives to address the future of communication and organisational leadership.
Taking place on 17 September 2026, Innovation Sprint London is a new executive working session designed to unite communication leaders, business leaders, organisational specialists, AI experts and industry partners to tackle some of the profession’s most pressing strategic challenges.
Rather than a traditional conference, the Sprint provides a collaborative environment where participants will work together to develop practical solutions to challenges such as demonstrating communication’s business impact, strengthening organisational trust and leading AI implementation with confidence.
As an Industry Leadership Partner, Markson Partners will contribute its expertise in leadership, organisational transformation and executive advisory to help shape the discussions and practical outcomes emerging from the Sprint. The event will culminate in the publication of the Innovation Sprint Executive Insights Report, capturing key recommendations developed collaboratively by participants.
Orla Clancy, Founder and Managing Director of Strategic, said:
“Innovation Sprint London is built on the belief that the biggest challenges facing communication leaders cannot be solved in isolation. They require collaboration across disciplines and sectors. We’re delighted to welcome Markson Partners as an Industry Leadership Partner. Their expertise in leadership and organisational transformation will bring valuable insight to the conversations and help ensure participants leave with practical ideas they can implement within their organisations.”
Renna Markson, Founding Partner of Markson Partners, said:
“Today’s leaders are navigating unprecedented complexity, where communication, leadership and organisational performance are more interconnected than ever. Innovation Sprint London offers a unique opportunity for senior leaders to step away from day-to-day demands, collaborate across disciplines and develop practical solutions to shared challenges. We’re proud to partner with Strategic and look forward to contributing our perspective to this important initiative.”
Innovation Sprint London has been developed in response to recurring themes identified through Strategic’s Communication Leadership Summits, where senior communication leaders consistently called for greater focus on practical implementation, measurable business impact and cross-functional collaboration.
The event follows a Discover – Design – Deliver methodology, enabling participants to move beyond discussion and co-create actionable recommendations that organisations can implement immediately.
Markson Partners joins a growing group of organisations supporting Innovation Sprint London, including Everhaze as AI Innovation Partner, and the Public Relations Institute of Ireland (PRII), the International Communications Consultancy Organisation (ICCO) and other Industry Leadership Partners committed to advancing the communication profession.
Innovation Sprint London will take place in London on 17 September 2026.
