Build your Thought Leadership & Network in 2021
Event Information
About this Event
As you begin the new year, you have a great opportunity to reflect on your positioning in your field, and to start building and extending your thought leadership profile.
Thought leadership done well is a powerful way of raising your profile with authenticity and credibility and can play a key role in supporting other players in your field, attracting new audiences and business opportunities.
You may be wondering...
❓ Where do you start?
❓ Which medium should you use?
❓ How do you cut through the noise?
Equally, for thought leadership to be effective, you need a strong network to amplify your message and reach the right audience. But building an effective network isn't always easy - and it's something that requires both skill and effort.
❓ So, what's the best way to start a conversation?
❓ And how do you build connections effectively?
❓ More importantly, how do you make them last?

🎙️ David Brear
David is the CEO of 11:FS. Since David's dream of being a sportsperson was crushed (along with the ligaments in his knee!) and he was forced to get a proper job, he has worked in pretty much every angle of the financial services industry - never losing that competitive desire to drive forwards and win. Having pitched, established and run billion-pound transformations for some of the biggest FS companies on the planet, the realisation that digital financial services are only 1% finished has spurred his desire to establish an organisation that can actually support the industry through its greatest challenge. 11:FS is a challenger to the incumbent consultancies. We create innovative strategies and build out new propositions and ventures in the UK, US, Europe and Asia for some of the biggest brands on the planet.
As the Founder & CEO of GingerMay Public Relations, Victoria helps startups and fast-growth businesses, as well as established companies, promote their business across domestic and international markets, achieving differentiation and a tangible commercial impact. A self-confessed tech geek, her career followed an unconventional - but highly relevant - path from political researcher for two MPs, to data analyst, global marketer, and finally, PR specialist.
🎙️ Jo Simmons
As an Account Director, Jo looks after all things UK Government at LinkedIn as part of the Marketing Solutions team. It’s a world she knows well, having spent over twelve years working in a variety of Government comms and marketing roles herself, including as Head of Marketing at BEIS devising and running the Business is GREAT campaign promoting Government support to SMEs.
