Seminar before THE networking lunch

How to Build Trust and Authority Online with Video Content

Many businesses are familiar with networking and building personal relationships. Meeting in person allows you to make value judgement’s about an individual’s work ethic and expertise in their field. But how do you convey the same qualities in an online environment in order to access the much broader market present?

In this seminar David Kilkelly of BlinkBack Video Marketing will demonstrate actual strategies that businesses can use to connect with customers on line. Using a blend of video, audience focused content and targeted social media marketing, David will show how a business can position itself as an authority and build a loyal on line following of relevant prospects.

This modern marketing approach concentrates on the specific content that you distribute as a business and why video is the most effective and engaging medium to deliver it. It is not a seminar about promotional videos or traditional advertising.

David Kilkelly leads BlinkBack, a Video company based in Ashburton that specialises in creating exciting engaging video content for forward thinking businesses. This content is fueled with cutting edge digital marketing strategies that position it in front of specific audiences for maximum ROI.

Then it’s THE networking lunch

Drinks and informal networking 11.45am – 12.30pm

From 12.30pm your 2 course served lunch – you sit with other decision makers – none of whom do what you do. There is a table host at each table and you have a 3 minute presentation to do for the others around your table – enthuse and inspire and build relationships. PLUS you have an Event Programme & seating plan which lists everyone attending , their name, business name and what their business does and importantly what table they are sat on enabling you to network with other – more business building opportunities!

The Lunch speaker is ken Abbott – Into the Image – 3 from 12!  A taster for his seminar “12 from 12” on September 9th!
