CING / CSBG Question Time: PR and Marketing
This location is shown only to members
This is our first joint event and is being run in conjunction with the Chapel Street Business Group (CSBG) and is sponsored by Central Salford URC.
We think it's going to be a fantastic session, which we have called:
Question Time: PR and Marketing
Its like Question Time but without the political point scoring!
- Do you understand PR and how you can embrace marketing through new technologies?
- Want to know how to build your business reputation, raise awareness and strengthen your brand?
- Ever wondered how you can make good use of social media?
This is your chance to ask the questions to our panel of experts about anything related to marketing, PR, Social Media and business support.
The panel includes:
Debbie Kelly, Director at Ethos PR;
Andy Spinoza, founder of SKV Communications;
Justine Wright of digital agency, Cuckoo Design
Chi-Chi Ekweozor from Social Media specialists, Real Fresh TV;
Marie Clement, Managing Director of Elite Edge Marketing; and
Paul Shambrook, Digital & Creative Services Advisor from Business Link NW.

Hi Danielle,
It looks as though we have just filled up, but there is a waiting list that you can add your name and up to 2 guests to it. Hopefully, if people realise that they are unable to attend they will change their RSVPs and your names will automatically get bumped up.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to get in touch.

This is a question I saw on Twitter @EamonSpotlight , thought it might be quite useful : Who in company should be responsible, ultimately, for social media: marketing or PR (or other dept. / company rep)?

Thanks for last night boys, found it useful, shame we got stuck on Twitter for so long. Also a shame the panel didn't stick around to network after but I understand it was late and they'd already given so much of their time. Wish I'd have asked more questions but didn't want to sound like a foghorn more than once!

Great night as ever Gents, I must comment regarding the 'mildly agressive reaction'....I feel that 45 minutes talking relentlesly about the merits of Twitter as a marketing tool was a wasted opportunity to discuss more relevant methods for the sizes and types of businesses in the room last night. I agree with Pip, more relevance to the businesses as a whole next time please. Ian 'mildly aggressive' Simpson x

I agree that we would probably have got more out of the panel if the discussions were on a broader area than just twitter. CSBG and CING will have a evaluation meeting in a couple of weeks time. Please keep letting us know what we have done well, what we need to improve etc.
Have you managed to speak to many CSBG members ?
We would probably need a much bigger venue (or one that could provide enough chairs) for similar events in future. Any thoughts?

Pip RustageOK, first of all I love you guys for setting this up, don't you forget that. It was great doing a joined networking group, this seems to be the way forward especially when getting companies to come in and give advice, it's a shame neither the big company reps nor many people stayed to network after the question time session ended. It was a shame the questions were social networking marketing based and the advice coming from the panel was relating to companies of THEIR size not freelance one man bands like most of us are, hence me asking the question to benefit us all "USPs should we be specialising/d
iversifying?" Chairperson mentioned a question about photography not read out, that could have been mine?..."How do you source your freelance photographers?" could have been changed to "The work you outsource, how do you find the freelancers to do it?" to benefit the size and type of business' in the room.

Tom RodgersPacked room made for a good meeting with a lively discussion on the merits/demerits of using social media. I was a bit shy and hid at the back, but may talk to some more people next time!
-
Abby SamudaThe panel of people gave very honest and good advice. They really opened my eyes to twitter and the benifits of social networking sites. It was very interesting to here about how their companies grew to be what they are today with good planning, the right marketing and general know how. It was a good evening plus the buffet food was very nice too!
