Marketing Help | Special events | Workshops | Nerdy Happiness
How’s your 2014 shaping up?
It’s been pretty busy around Unashamedly Creative HQ in January.
After a week of semi-working holiday in the quaint historic town in marvellous Millthorpe followed by seaside relaxation at gorgeous Narooma, I’m back to the desk for copywriting, marketing and content.
I’ve also come up with a few new opportunities for you.
Curious? Let’s get to it, shall we?
Plans a-plenty
One thing I've done for several years and not really advertised as such are all kinds of plans for business.
However, I know there are an increasing amount of businesses with the ability to do the legwork required to make a great splash with marketing, but may not have the time to do the research and set the strategy. That and the fact the idea of pulling all that together can be a little...well...dry and boring.
Being a huge marketing nerd, I love that kind of thing. Which is why I now offer a range of plans to individuals and businesses who need a plan but don’t have the time (or the nerdy inclination) to build one.
Curious? Check out my content plan, social media plan, marketing plan, or the grand daddy of them all, the foundation marketing plan for more.
Schools In
It’s time for me to conquer my fear of public speaking once and for all. I’m doing this by scooping out large chunks of my brain in front of interested, in need and caring people. No folks, I haven’t signed myself up for science experiments. This year, I am teaching workshops. Having participated in the Blogging for Business course last year as a guest speaker, I have caught somewhat of a teaching bug. My workshops have usually been me working closely with a client one on one about specific business needs. I still offer this, but am now also expanding it to help more people in a classroom setting. The first class is ‘Facebook is dead. Long live social media’ and is an intermediate level social media course. It’s designed to help you optimise your current social media and prepare you for major changes in the social media world. I am co-producing this with Brook McCarthy from Yoga Reach and promises to be a great day. You will need to sit a little survey test to see if you qualify for entry. Register now. Next is ‘How to create customer friendly content’ and is designed to help you make the most out of content of all kinds. Content is a massive influence on finding new customers and creating loyalty. It helps cut down your customer service and attract the right people for your business. I love content, and by the end, I know you will too. Find out more here and register now. Later in the year is ‘Panda, Penguin and Hummingbird- Oh My! : An SEO workshop for non nerdy type’. This course is designed to help you get your head around Google rankings and how to reach your customers using SEO tactics. Unlike most courses in SEO, you won’t be expected to speak pure geek and know stuff about development. You can pre-register here. While all the scheduled dates are in Sydney, I am willing to take it to any city where demand is there. For example, I regularly travel to Orange and Narooma and have family in Wagga, so if you want to learn while I am in town, I am sure we can arrange something. If I get a bunch of wonderful Brisbane people crying out for help, I have no problem with jumping on a plane. Just tell me what you want and where you are and I shall see what I can do.
