Something exciting is happening for Milton Keynes businesses on Wednesday 5 June…
Scores of local businesses and entrepreneurs will be under one roof, exhibiting what they offer, and forging new connections – and it’s completely free of charge to visit. It’s Your Business Expo MK at the Ridgeway Centre, and the Elite in a Week team have an exhibition stand! Your Business Expo events run across Beds, Northants and Milton Keynes, and they bring together such a diverse range of sectors, businesses and experts. We visited the Northampton event as a team back in February, and we made so many new connections.
The Milton Keynes event will be another great opportunity to network, hear keynote speakers and take participate in workshops, and we are so excited to be part of it with Elite in a Week. Here’s what we’ve been doing to prepare, and why it’s well worth coming to see us on the day – because we’ve got a rather special giveaway planned…
Expo Planning and Prepping - Together
With the date fast approaching, we’ve been working hard to prepare our stand and what we’re promoting – and on 14 May, we all took a day out from our respective businesses to get our heads together, and work through everything that needs to be sorted in these last few weeks.
We’re not an agency, and we don’t have our own shared office space – so we all look forward to getting together for Elite in a Week days like this. Unity Place, the new Santander building in Milton Keynes, is a great spot for collaborative working and that’s where we chose for this session.
One of the big advantages of our collaboration is that we each take the tasks that fall within our specialisms – which makes the comms, marketing and prep work much easier than being on your own! There are five of us to share the load and crack on with the jobs we know we’re good at, safe in the knowledge that equally brilliant professionals are taking care of the rest.
We also used the time to get lots of new images to use on the website and in our social media – not an easy task when you all work separately. Suzanne takes every opportunity to capture us all at work together. It also means one of us also has to get behind the camera too, to make sure Suzanne is included!
It wasn’t just Suzanne working on the business, either – we all had some Elite in a Week spring cleaning and polishing to do, to be ready for the Your Business Expo MK event:
- Sarah created three new pages for the website;
- Rebecca composed the new copy and refreshed the words on the home page;
- Charlotte mapped out our marketing and comms for before, during and after the event;
- Natalie drew up our materials and stand layout…all the best designs start on a napkin!
