Re-launch: Using PR or Social Media Marketing to get your business out there

If you are an artist, maker, or creative business join us for our final Re:Create 2021 Skills & Networking event where we will be looking at how you can use marketing and communications to leverage your businesses success.

In Conversation with...

Our host Nat Harrison (Hive Collective) will be joined in conversation with Creative United Business Advisor Emma Clarke who will provide real life insight into:

• Knowing your market and your client or customer base
• Which marketing channels are available and best for your business
• How to use your brand to put yourself out there
• What is PR and how does it work?
• How to approach social media and streamline your process

Focus Seat

The next section of the event is the perfect opportunity for participants to use the Re:Create 2021 network as a sounding board for their own personal business needs. We invite those attending to take the focus seat and talk to the group about:

• current challenges and asking for help solving issues
• asking for help generating ideas
• asking the group to share their knowledge on a specific subject
• a poll of current behaviours or insights
• a request for feedback on a new product or service idea

We look forward to seeing you there!
