Joining us next month for the BD Matters Industry Interview is the brilliant Kabillan Navaratnarasa, New Business Director at We Are Social, a global agency that delivers world-class creative ideas with forward-thinking brands. 

Kabillan started his career in accounting before switching to BD. He's secured briefs worth more than £4m in new revenue, with clients including Coca-Cola GB, Kia, Study Group and Travelzoo. In 2020, his team at We Are Social won the Drum Business Development Team of the Year award. 

Here's a little of what we'll be talking about:

• Why do agencies need to think about the wider relationship outside the brief?

• How can brands need be more respectful of the time and money agencies commit?

• How to cut through the bullshit and recognise the value add of your agency?

• What's the value of instilling a BD mindset across non-BD team members?
