Where and when?
Tuesday, 28 November 2017 – 8:00am – 10:30am
Ipswich Town Football Club, Portman Road, Ipswich, IP1 2DA
Businesses growing at pace and looking to become more efficient, right through to larger organisations hitting a road-block, wanting to investigate how they can move forward to become more profitable.
If you run a business, of any size, it is almost certain that, in some way you have a digital presence. Whether you have a full website, a Facebook page, buy and sell on the likes of eBay or Etsy or even just have an online add in another website, you still can be found online. Let’s admit it, it’s now the ‘go to’ for sourcing information, products and services. The days of the paper directory when looking for a service or business are fast disappearing. As such it is more important that sole traders and SMEs fully understand the digital media landscape, and how it can be used by you and your clients. The correct usage and understanding can effect sales, reputation and performance. For example did you know:-
Mobile coupons and voucher codes are redeemed at 10 x the rate of traditional coupons?*
In 2015 25% of people look at the ads on the right side of the search results page?*
There are 50 million small business using Facebook pages to connect with their customers?**
If the answer is no to the above, then our half day workshop will be ideal to get up to speed with the key information you need to know about Digital Marketing and making it work for you and your business. We can help take out the dread and help you get your head around the basics.
What is Digital Media?
Definition of Digital Media: Digital media is digitised content that can be transmitted over the internet or computer networks. This can include text, audio, video, and graphics. This covers pretty much any form of social or formal communications and content posted on line or communicated through emails or similar through digital networks.
How could Digital Media improve my business?
How many of us do not use some form of digital format? Using it correctly can provide great benefits for business both in terms of visibility, brand awareness and potentially positive sales increase. With a good understanding of the subject, benefits of targeted digital marketing and using digital media can include:
Increased local and global reach
Lower costs compared to traditional marketing methods
Trackable, measurable results almost instantly with online analytics
Personalisation opportunities for your customer communications
Openness and interaction with your users on social media
Improved conversion rates.

The cost of domestic abuse to business is estimated at £14 billion a year ( 2019 Home Office Report), with a National social and economic cost of around £66 billion per year (January 2019).
It is obvious that domestic abuse will have a significant impact on someone’s wellbeing and in turn this will impact on the business.
This awareness session looks at what domestic abuse is, the impact it has and its complexity. We will also look at how embedding a culture of awareness and understanding around domestic abuse not only benefits an organisation itself and individuals but ripples out into the community.
Alpha Vesta CIC was founded in February 2019 by Lucy Whittaker, with a very clear foundation and mission statement of:
‘breaking the cycle of domestic abuse through awareness, prevention and effective and safe early intervention through the workplace’
Lucy has frontline experience in the sector as well as academic study which informs all of Alpha Vesta’s work. Alpha Vesta deliver on their mission by providing businesses and organisations with awareness services, training, consultancy and policy development in domestic abuse.
Alpha Vesta currently receive funding from the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex, Lottery Community Fund, Essex Community Foundation and Smallwood Trust to deliver awareness training to the business community.
Connecting the dots: who pays the cost of networks?
Prof Mich Tvede – School of Economics
Julian Study Centre lecture theatre, UEA
Networks connect almost everything in our world, and are increasingly influential in our daily lives. They enable us to work more efficiently, trade goods and services, and even form relationships. Harnessing the power of networks can be challenging, particularly when there is no central control over their components. In this lecture, Mich will explore the potential benefits and pitfalls of centrally controlled networks and their decentralised counterparts.
Free, no booking required. For more information, email [email protected] or call 01603 592130.

Join MHA Larking Gowen in 2021 for our special three-part Business Brunch series.
We can’t wait until we can see you face to face again, presenting our popular Business Breakfasts and we really hope to be able to do that for our September event. In the meantime, we’ll be continuing with our popular online Brunch webinars.
2021 will be a trilogy of events focussing on your most valuable resource – your people. Help them achieve great things, wherever they are, and to feel proud of their contribution.
In these interactive sessions, we’ll explore how we should focus on what we CAN control and help you to take back control of your business. Key areas for business leaders to focus on are how we attract, develop and retain people to our business. Employer brand, client service, wellbeing, recruiting remotely, onboarding, and ongoing development will all be discussed over this series of events.
How to attract the right people: 16 March 2021, 10.30am – 11.30am
The first session in the trilogy will be presented by Becky Ames and Graham Mummery.
Attracting talent is a challenge, we face new working methods, new locations and new technology; it’s all too easy to put this important task into the ‘difficult pile’ and let it drift. We’ll share with you some simple strategies, insights and experiences to allow you to take control and continue to move your business forward.
Networking is back!
