Brand storytelling
As human beings we’re hard-wired to share. It’s what connects us. Social media has become the modern equivalent of our ancient campfires. We go there to meet our tribe, share our thoughts, emotions, ideas and… stories. No wonder business is rubbing shoulders with storytelling. Presented by Rachel Savage of Small is Beautiful Communications this session invites you to begin your adventure into storytelling and:
- Find out what brand storytelling is and how it will help you stand out from the crowd
- Discover some of the best methods for creating your own brand story – used by Hollywood blockbusters, ancient mythmakers, forward-thinking marketeers and you!
- Begin to structure your brand story strategy – by getting to the heart of why you do what you do.

Contracts and intellectual property
If you want to run a profitable agency – and avoid some costly mistakes – you need to make sure you understand the basics and don’t get caught out.
Jessica Bent, partner at Withy King Solicitors and an expert in legal issues for creative industries, will guide us through the all-important dos and don’ts. As well as running this workshop, Jessica is offering each participant a free phone or face to face 30-minute phone consultation following the workshop. It’s a must-attend session for anyone employing freelancers, long-term contractors or just wanting to get their house in order.
Get your house in order: the financial essentials
In this workshop, Robert Rawle from Bishop Fleming will focus on agency finances, highlighting opportunities to save money and get your cash flow sorted. He’ll share insider tax tips and demystify everything from ‘NI contributions’ to ‘healthy bottom lines’. If that doesn’t tempt you, Robert is also offering each participant a free 30-minute phone consultation following the workshop.
Really great listening comes with confidence. Confidence to ask questions, to sit with silence, to not assume, to dig deeper, to listen to what is unsaid. This short, fast paced taster breakfast session will help you question your own listening skills, your conscious awareness of how well you really listen with the aim of helping you become a better listener with colleagues, clients, staff and with yourself. Creating better communication, confident briefs and healthier working relationships.
