A marketing workshop designed to help small and medium sized businesses in Northamptonshire ‘excel’ will take place next month.

Industry experts will be giving an exclusive insight into how to market their product and services more effectively at the event organised by the Northamptonshire Growth Hub on Tuesday, March 15.

County-based businesses will learn more about PR, digital marketing and how to effectively manage a brand from a range of guest speakers at the workshop held at Tithe Barn in Wellingborough between 9.15am and 12.30pm.

Experts already confirmed to pass on their marketing knowledge include Oliver Jelley, managing director of Orange Juice Communications, a successful PR firm based in Brixworth, and Mark Whitehead, director of A Head 4 Sales, a business growth support business from Northampton.

Janette Pallas, Northamptonshire Growth Hub manager, said: “Marketing is an important aspect of business in general, and unfortunately a lot of smaller businesses don’t seem to understand how essential it is.

“We have a range of experts from fields across the industry on hand to give their exclusive advice on basic marketing techniques that some businesses may be lacking.

“This workshop has been designed to allow small and medium sized businesses in Northamptonshire to excel through their marketing strategies, with lots of tips and hints on hand for those attending to take on board.”

The Growth Hub is a partnership between Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership, The University of Northampton and Northamptonshire County Council, designed to meet the specific needs of businesses in the county and to boost economic growth.

Providing access to instant support for businesses, the Growth Hub allows businesses of all sizes to receive free high-quality advice and guidance for any issues they may have.
