Brighton Social Media September Meet-Up

Brighton Social Media is a regular meet-up for digital folk from across the city and beyond.

Brighton Social Media is a monthly meet-up for digital folk from across Brighton & Hove and beyond! We’ve been bringing people together for monthly meet-ups since last year and are really proud to be part of the Brighton Digital Festival once again.

Our speakers for this event, Matt Daley and Kurt Henderson, will be offering tips, advice and more on the subjects of Twitter and Infographics. Here’s the low-down on what they will be talking about, plus a bit more about them…

Matt Daley – Engaging on Twitter

Matt Daley

Twitter has become one of the biggest real-time marketing platforms with over 200 million active users. Twitter allows businesses to communicate their brand values and by using Twitter it gives businesses the opportunity to showcase their brands personality using creative methods and techniques. During Matt’s presentation he will talk to you about how to engage effectively with users on Twitter using a variation of organic and paid techniques. Matt will comment on the best practices for using the platform, current development advancements and how to successfully engage with its users using just 140 characters.

Matt is a Senior Digital Marketing Consultant at SiteVisibility. He has a passion for social media, search engine optimisation and paid advertising. Outside of Matt’s busy working life he is into his fitness and has recently completed Tough Mudder, a 12 mile military style obstacle course. Follow Matt on Twitter for a range of updates in the world of Digital Marketing.

 

Kurt Henderson - The power of design & infographics in marketing

Kurt Henderson

The secret behind using design and infographics to draw audience is revealed. This talk will focus on how anyone can learn what is required to build and understand a design or infographic. How is this method useful and what purposes does it serve in the long and short term.

Designing interface, forum UI and conceptual graphics from the age of 13 has enabled me to really grasp the understanding of consumers/visitors to what is needed online. What stands out and what falls beneath the surface. My stance is ‘free’, ‘willing’ to explore, experiment and examine results. My name is Kurt aka #KHCreates or Ckygfx.

 

Who should attend?

As well as the presentations, you can also expect the usual mix of knowledge sharing, digital learning and networking in a relaxed atmosphere over a drink or two. There’s a chance to share ideas, ask questions and even make useful contacts for the future.

And despite the name, we welcome digital marketing folk from across the city and beyond, whether you are a social media star or are looking for advice in any related area.

The meet-up is once again sponsored by digital marketing agency Fresh Egg, who are paying for the first round of drinks (make sure you get there on time or you might miss out on this). To qualify for a free drink simply present your Eventbrite ticket (paper or on your mobile) to David downstairs BEFORE heading to the bar.

We look forward to seeing you there!
