Bryony Thomas and Rachael Wheatley are outstanding, smart speakers with bags of experience and models to implement today to help get the board, your boss, and the team on board with marketing. We know you'll love this session.

Even in 2022, Linkedin still presents one of the most abundant sources of organic reach for those looking to build their personal or business profile. And with that comes opportunity.

Pragya and Lea have walked the walk when it comes to Linkedin - both have established strong personal brands, and their businesses are flourishing as a result. So, how can you smash Linkedin for yourself or your business too? That’s what this session is all about!

Sophie Miller gets social media. In the past 2 years, she’s grown a Facebook group of 9k+, 30k on Instagram, 61.1k on her company Linkedin page and 30k on her own personal Linkedin. More importantly - those folks are ENGAGED. So, in a world that increasingly feels like social media provides very little bang for the buck - what does Sophie do that makes her and her company stand out so much and create a community who genuinely feel part of something?

As marketers, we love to say that data drives many of our decisions, strategies and tactical implementation. Yet, the reality is for many marketers that we either don’t know how or where to find meaningful data. Even if we do have the raw data: bringing it to life in a way that tells stories that work both internally and externally is a challenge. Thierry Ngutegure is really, really good at all of this. He finds and creates data, and then uses it to tell stories that get buy-in from internal teams, or press for his clients. In this session, he’ll share: - His research methods and sources for data gathering - How he turns these into stories that create impact internally and externally - Real-life examples of putting this into practice

In marketing we love change, but what about what won’t? The things that don’t change are the things that we can build strategies for the long term off the back of. In this talk, the influential and well-known VP of Brand Planning at Jellyfish - Tom Roach, shares 7 unchanging principles of effective communication that are based on how our brains work, not on how specific technology works. For an understanding of what really matters and a healthy dose of grounded thinking, be sure to make this session!

Does being a trained marketer make you a better marketer? Mark Ritson certainly thinks so. That’s why he founded the Mini MBA, possibly the most pervasive marketing qualification in the UK today.

As marketers, we know the success of our product often hinges on our messaging. The words we use can make the difference between customers getting it — or not. But with so many things to say, and only seconds to make an impression, it’s a struggle to find the right message. Where do you begin? What really matters to your audience? How can you stand out? In this webinar with messaging strategist and conversion copywriter, Diane Wiredu, we’ll discover how to create effective messaging that builds your brand and resonates with your audience.

As marketers, we spend our time trying to reach people. We talk about the strategies and tactics to do as much all the time. But isn't it more important that we resonate with them? That we're not just a pixel on a screen but a reaction created? An emotion stirred? An action prompted. In this interview with global keynote speaker, host of Unthinkable podcast and multiple times author, Jay Acunzo - we'll explore what it really means to resonate with your audience, and more importantly - how to do it.

When planning digital campaigns, the focus is firmly on the data and rightly so. However, whilst we tend to create strategies based on the data we do have, the data that we don't have can be just as valuable but often gets overlooked.  The reality is, no matter how much we know about our customer, product and channels, all strategies are based on assumptions. In this talk, we will discuss how we can not only identify those assumptions but turn them into optimisation opportunities that will help us improve future campaign performance and ultimately meet our business objectives.

This webinar will give you nine ways to have good, creative ideas. Because there is nothing worse than a blank sheet of paper and fingers lingering over a keyboard, unsure what to type.

Ever caught yourself in that moment where the words get stuck in your throat and you don't say the thing you know to be right? Where you can see others join in, and want to, but can't bring yourself to make that step into the group? Or, simply not feeling like you are giving everything you can give through holding back for *some* reason? All the while, you see people around you being heard, seemingly enjoying themselves and moving forward. There are lots of good reasons this could be the case. But confidence... that's one you can do something about. Kirtsy Hulse has helped tens of thousands of people across the world on their confidence journey. In a sentence, she helps people achieve more than they thought possible. She also happens to be a marketer :)
