Have a great day everyone! Stay safe!

There's one event that I've been to that I just absolutely loved. It actually inspired me to start Building Brands in the first place. It's run by the very awesome Claire Dibben at Noisy Little Monkey in Bristol, where she is very ably supported by Jon, Katie and the rest of the brilliant team there.

They have some incredible speakers, do some very clever things and this year, have very bravely taken the event online. You really don't want to miss out on this. It will be brilliant - the team even spent the afternoon in the park getting drunk brainstorming ideas for this November's event! So it's bound to be even better than normal!

It's on Thursday 18th November, from 9am to 5pm and they have some fantastic speakers lined up to talk. It's going to be fun, it's going to be informative, and if you haven't been before and you're anything like me, it's going to be the start of a beautiful relationship with the NLM team!

Building Brands - Hello Friday Newsletter You're going to hate me now.. did you realise that in exactly 13 weeks, it's Christmas day? Wow.  So I hope after this week, we're all ok.

Have you read our latest blog post?

It's all about properly researching your target market, paying proper attention to your buyer personas, and not costing your employer hundreds of millions of pounds. Like the marketing team at Tata Motors in India did in 2008.

Honestly, this made some really interesting research when I was putting this together. How they could have made such calamitous mistakes is beyond me!

Go and have a read.. and when you're done, have a think about your buyer personas. When did you last update them? How often do you refer to them? Do you even have any?

Enjoy reading!

Some people are currently unsure of where we are regarding being allowed to hold events. We're members of the Meetings Industry Association, and I've today received guidance from them regarding holding events and what is and isn't permitted:

Event venues, excluding exhibition and conference centres, are now allowed to hold meetings of up to 30 people if social distancing can be maintained and the venue can demonstrate that is has followed COVID-19 guidance. In order to do this, venues must conduct a risk assessment and should carry out all steps in the MIA's reopening guidance:

https://lnkd.in/dCtr-7s

From 1 August, exhibition and conference centres will be allowed to open their doors for showcase purposes only, with small groups of up to 30 people able to view the facilities and develop plans for future events.

From 1 October it is then expected that events of all types, including trade shows, consumer shows, exhibitions and conferences, will be allowed to operate at capacities compliant with social distancing of 2 metres, or 1 metre with mitigation. If the event involves a lot of speaking, venues must pay attention to ventilation. They must also adhere to the latest advice from Public Health England.

Since lockdown started, most of us have had experience in some way, of working from home, zoom chats and working to deadlines.

Apple have published a pretty great video (its nearly 7 minutes long) that "captures all the frustrations, family responsibilities and video blunders that come with working from home, while articulating how Apple's products are here to help." This is story telling at it's best. You NEED to watch this!

Frazer's advice? Before you spend shed loads of money on software and marketing tools, speak to....

Well, we'll let you read the article to find out for yourself! It's surprising just how many people don't do it currently.. despite that it could eventually save you a lot of money!
