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?
