Purpol Marketing is delighted to share that Founder and Managing Director, Denise O’Leary MBE, was featured at Ideas Fest 2025, the UK’s most exciting festival for founders, innovators, and business leaders.

Held on 10–11 September in Tring, Hertfordshire, Ideas Fest—often called the “Glastonbury for entrepreneurs”—brought together more than 4,000 attendees including founders, investors, creatives, and industry trailblazers for two packed days of learning, networking, and inspiration.

As part of the Ideas Fest Book Exchange, Denise’s Amazon #1 bestselling book WINNER – How to Win Business Awards was showcased. The Book Exchange highlighted standout titles that inspire entrepreneurial journeys, giving attendees the opportunity to explore, discover, and take away influential books.

WINNER distils Denise’s 30 years of marketing and bid-writing expertise into practical strategies that help businesses craft compelling, judge-aligned award entries. The book also underpins WINNER AI™, the UK’s first AI-powered tool designed to help entrepreneurs and consultants create award-winning submissions with strategy, structure, and storytelling.

Denise O’Leary MBE reflected:
“Ideas Fest was all about bold ideas and entrepreneurial energy, and I was honoured to see my book featured at the Book Exchange. It was a fantastic opportunity to inspire founders to recognise and celebrate their achievements, while connecting with a community that thrives on creativity, resilience, and growth.”
