The business that is show business

For those of you who don't realise it exists, may I introduce Chimera Entertainments to you.


Chimera Entertainments is a division of Chimera Communications and was set up as a really useful add-on for any client looking for entertainers for personal or business functions of all sorts.


If you're planning a corporate event, product launch or team-building exercise and need a table magician, large scale illusionist or rib-tickling comedian; if you're having a staff party and want to win some brownie points with the gang; if you're getting married and want a great singer or band (who may or may not sing "Lady in Red"; if you're producing an advert and need a voice-over artist or impressionist (cheaper than the real thing); or if you're having a party and want something different - like a top notch pickpocket (how did he do that?!) then we can make it work for you.


Never underestimate the value of laughter. It's not only good for your health, it's good for your soul. 


Until next time.

Welcome to the ChimeraCommsBlog

It was only a matter of time... it's not as if I've deserted Twitter or LinkedIn but I feel I should spread myself in an equitable way across the social media spectrum. Welcome to the ChimeraCommsBlog.

My aim is to update you on news and views from the world of Chimera Communications, let you know what I and some of our clients are up to, and to share some of the more amusing things that tend to happen along the way.

This evening I've been networking. I tend to pick events quite specifically, otherwise I'd be forever networking and not actually doing the work. 

For me, each event I go to has to have a legitimate outcome - either there are people I want to meet for a specific business reason, there's an interesting and worthwhile speaker, I'm supporting a useful organisation, it's in a place of interest I might not normally go to, I'll more than likely get some business out of it, make some really useful contacts or the food's good!

Tonight it was for the speaker, the organisation and the venue. The speaker I was particularly keen on hearing was the charismatic and compelling Jeremy Spiller from White Hat Media. The organisation was the Brighton & Hove Chamber of Commerce. And the venue was The Hove Kitchen, which I hadn't tried before. The bonus was that the food was very good, and I met some useful business contacts and set up at least one meeting.

Today's tip then? Choose your networking opportunities carefully and try not to come away feeling that it wasn't a good use of your time or money.

Until next time, I'll leave you to ponder this: "There's no such thing as bad publicity" - true or false?
