I'm all about making marketing simple, practical & fun - so when the lovely Mel Newton at Marketing Buddy reached out to me earlier this year and asked if I'd be up for delivering training at this years Marketing Summit Cumbria - it was a no brainer!

Mel set up this fantastic event last year and it was a huge success - I've heard from many of my clients that they learnt so much and made some brilliant connections with other local businesses. Together Mel, JP and myself will be delivering 7 marketing masterclasses to help you beat the overwhelm and gain practical, no nonsense, marketing tips and tricks!

Join us on Friday 17th October at Furness College for...

✔️ 7 expert-led masterclasses
✔️ Real-life examples (no jargon!)
✔️ Q&A panel where you can ask us anything
✔️ Practical workshops to put learning into action
✔️ Implementation workbook with slides, tips and guides from each session
✔️ Lunch, refreshments, delegate goody bag & prizes to be won

Last year’s feedback was amazing, and this year is set to be even better. If you want to grow your business and leave buzzing with ideas to implement – get your places booked!

Back to work today after a gorgeous week off in Dalyan with Josh and the family in the sunshine ☀️

We've had a lovely time with some mini adventures, relaxation aplenty and lots of beautiful Turkish food.

A big thanks to Natalie at M and M Business for managing my inbox whilst I've been away - it's been SO nice to properly switch off and come back to work knowing everything has been organised ready for me to pick up and crack on.

The Lakes is wet and wild and feels much more Autumnal than before we left but I'm looking forward to reconnecting with my clients and hosting lots of fab workshops over the next couple of months!

👋 Hi everyone...welcome to our new page for M&M Business Support

🤔 I thought I'd start with a little introduction...

👉 I’m Natalie, and I run things here.

My background is a bit of a mix - I’ve spent over 16 years working in:
⚙️ Operations
🏘 Property
🤝 Customer Service
📦 Procurement
👂 Management

👍 And now I get to use all that experience to support consultants and agencies with their own ops, customers and marketing

🥰 I love finding solutions and implementing improvements...with a geeky metric behind things for tracking

🤪 When I'm not working you'll find me trying to keep up with my kids

Oh hello September - time really does fly!

Before we know it we'll be listening to Mariah Carey on the radio thinking "bloody hell, not yet!" So I really need to share more about my upcoming workshops with you before the year runs away with me.

If you've been meaning to get round to "sorting out" your marketing - I have designed these workshops to help give you the boost that you need. They all flow into each other beautifully starting with arguably the most important one.... STRATEGY! 🤓

🔹In my "Fix Your Funnel To Boost Conversions" workshop - I simplify strategy and make it easy for you to find where your gaps are and prioritise what you actually NEED to be doing to generate more sales / business / donations or whatever conversion you're aiming for.

🔹My October workshop will be looking at creating "Short Form Video For Social Media" - I ran this last year but have tweaked the content slightly so it will be even more interactive and hands on.

🔹In November I'll be running the workshop to help save you time when in comes to social media and helping you to get ahead of the curve by planning for success. If you're looking to "Boost Efficiency and Save Time Mastering Social Media Marketing" this is the one for you!

Book your places today on my website "Training" page here > https://f.mtr.cool/tqgowjlxka

I can't wait to see you there!

Breaking the fourth wall 😂

Last month I was asked to join one of my clients on a meeting at The Dairy Shed, we wanted to check out access from the Canal Towpath Trail with a view to promote this area more in future.

We have been reaching out to businesses along the towpath to help raise awareness of what’s available for people whilst they’re out enjoying a walk, cycle or paddle.

This was a true hidden gem and it was fab to bring along work experience student Paige with me to see the relationship building and behind the scenes of managing social media accounts for clients.

We couldn’t resist snapping some shots whilst we were there and giving the milkshakes a try (they were delicious!)

Another great example of innovation and brilliant businesses in Cumbria 🫶
