Fruitful trees, if not wintry weather, have made a fitting backdrop to this month’s achievements.
A meeting with Manchester Literature Festival (MLF) organisers bubbled with ideas and ambitions, and a close symmetry with Forward Ladies emerged. My aspirations for our services here in Manchester include a book / literary group, and engaging with the MLF moves things along nicely. I’m enjoying many of this year’s MLF events and by next year will, I hope, have co-events in place.
The first training course offered in partnership with So…Business Solutions was a success at the beginning of the month. On “Presenting You and Your Business”, the half day masterclass drew out objectives and messaging from all the delegates, including me. The trainer was engaging and approachable, with considerable business experience from which to draw. Typically for a Forward Ladies event, we were open and supportive of one another, providing productive feedback. We all left with improved company presentations and numerous tools and techniques. The next one, on social networking, can be booked here.
Would you like to reach 13,000 Forward Ladies? If so, get in touch for a chat.
Since the spring, I have been working with commercial supporter of The Daisy Network, Nurture Replenish, on a press roundtable. The Daisy Network is taking part to raise awareness of premature menopause, also known as premature ovarian failure. With our full support, Sweet PR has done a great job of attracting a range of journalists to the event and we are optimistic that it will achieve online and offline coverage.
The one hiccup in the last few weeks has been missing Mobile Monday. With an ill pet I’m afraid getting to the vet took precedent, but he’s all better now so looking forward to the next one.
Seeking ideas on subjects, I’ve suggested a debate on handset design. Since the introduction of the iPhone this seems to have homogenized into rectangular screens, sized for men’s inside pockets. Product design is a creative strength of ours here in the UK : what are your thoughts on the shape and size of the device that’s always at our sides?
