Topic - Boost your Brand through Awards
Awards boost brand and business growth in a number of ways, opening doors to new contacts, clients, networks and opportunities. Used strategically, awards build your audience and authority and enhance marketing and PR activities.
In this session Emma will help you to identify the type of awards that will benefit your business and show you how to maximise the uplift from the process to boost your visibility and credibility.

Speaker
Emma Hewitt - Business Awards Adviser
She works with small business owners to build awards strategies - to boost confidence and visibility and business opportunities. She supports clients with finding awards, writing entries, re-purposing content and promoting their achievements.
Emma has been self-employed for 9 years - running a small business as a franchisee and supporting small businesses on a freelance basis, including managing an annual awards and conference for 5 years. Combined with a background in higher education she has almost 20 years experience of managing, assessing and advising on university scholarships and business awards.

Venue
The Drum and Monkey. 177 Four Ashes Rd, Dorridge, Solihull B93 8ND

What to expect
We feel that our meetings are like catching up with friends for a cuppa, with a relaxed and friendly vibe. At each meeting we have a guest speaker who shares their knowledge and there's a handout for you to take home too. There's always an opportunity to introduce your business and you can meet people that are both self-employed and employed. Everyone is welcome!

Why come along?
Our events are a nice opportunity to get sociable, move away from your desk, and have a fun and enjoyable morning. By coming along you can boost your confidence, improve your knowledge and get your business visible.
Whether you are looking to expand your network, find new opportunities or make new business friends, attending our networking meetings can be a rewarding experience.

You are welcome to attend as many meetings and events as you wish, without limitation. Although, many people do choose to become a member, as it's affordable with lots of benefits and cost savings.
