Businesses live or die by the success of their marketing and publicity, but it can be very difficult for a small business to acquire the skills they need to market their product or service successfully. I have worked with local support agencies to help small businesses improve their marketing, both individually and through group training sessions.

During 2005 and 2006 Trevor Sparks of Marketing for Growth and myself organised, promoted and facilitated networking and business training events for artists and crafts people in Nottinghamshire. EMDA and Nottinghamshire County Council funded the series of networking events, plus marketing workshops and Action Learning Sets, benefiting over 60 different creatives.

What people say… “All of the work exceeded given targets, was of very high quality, and was organised and delivered professionally and on time. Feedback from participants was extremely good and you were careful to run lively, interactive sessions, directly addressing the stated needs of participants.”
