I’m super excited about this! In less than a month we’re hosting a brand new event in association with Not Your Average HQ It’s being held at NYAID’s awesome, industrial-style hub in Partridge Green, West Sussex. Kelly and I wanted to do something together, some form of networking event but we wanted to do something a little different. We could have done talks about social media or SEO but quite frankly it felt a little boring and corporate. We wanted to get really personal and have some fun so we decided to create a personal branding workshop!

I’ve worked with literally thousands of wedding business since I started my business in 2009; all small businesses looking to promote themselves through advertising or exhibiting at wedding fairs. It never fails to amaze me how many businesses there are competing within the wedding industry. Every year when I look for new advertisers I find people have disappeared and new ones have popped up. I believe the key to success within our industry is: focusing your brand image and brand personality around your ideal client. You want clients who are right up your street don’t you?As the day involves photographs we encourage participants to make an effort with outfits, hair and make up and to bring a prop that represents their business .

Agenda:

– Coffee and welcome by Helen Ruff from Margot’s Wedding.

– Briefly introduce yourself and your business.

– How to inject personality into your brand – Talk by wedding/commercial photographer Anna Pumer.

– Style advice – Talk by image consultant Siobhan Young.

Leave with new friends, potential for collaborations, knowledge re colours/styles that suit you, advice re changes you could make to your website and (post event) you’ll get a professional, edited image of yourself, perfect for use on your about page.

All washed down with plenty of cups of tea, some tasty food and a glass of fizz!
