Using thought leadership and events to attract new business
As digital technology continues to disrupt the way we buy and sell services, there are an increasing number of opportunities for creative businesses to market themselves to prospective clients.
Rather than getting left behind using more traditional approaches, using events and thought leadership can be highly effective in raising the profile of your design business and attracting new clients. But how can you make it work best for you?
Join business development and DBA expert Lucy Mann for this half-day workshop exploring the value of thought leadership and how your agency can stand out from the crowd by leveraging alternative routes to new business.
The workshop will cover:
- Thought Leadership – what it is and why it’s so important
- Uncovering your agency (or personal) theme.
- How to create relevant and interesting content to attract your desired audience
- Building an integrated thought leadership campaign
- Avoiding campaign mistakes (no one being interested, no-one turning up!)
- Building on your success to expand your business
What you will leave with:
- A clear understanding of how to use thought leadership and events to market and grow your design business
- Actionable knowledge on how to establish a theme and build an integrated thought leadership campaign
- Tips on how to be a confident event host
- Awareness of the common pitfalls with events and thought leadership and the wherewithal to avoid them
