Hoult Session #1 Getting Your Idea Out There

If you have to promote yourself, your idea, and your business you'll need to understand the old-rules of brand building, (and how to break them), plus the new ones (and how to embrace them.)

This workshop will not only help you figure out what you should be doing and why, it'll also give you a shopping-list of best-practice to take away with you. You'll leave with a clear picture of how to engage in social media, using the key tools, building networks and extending the reach of your idea and brand.

We'll look in outline at traditional marketing and branding tools and opportunities, but spend more time exploring the new web based tools and skills. With plenty of hands on demo's and case-studies. And a focus on building fans, ambassadors and communities around your idea/brand.

You'll leave with a fuller understanding of just how valuable these new technologies are, and hopefully an enthusiasm for integrating them into the success of your idea and brand.

How to Register: Places are limited. To request an invite to the workshop please, email events@northernmedia.org
