Desk Digital, a search engine optimisation agency on the Isle of Wight, has announced 2 new events for digital marketers, creatives and business owners for the start of 2018.
The first event, a networking mixer at The Blacksheep Bar in Ryde, will take place on Thursday 25th January from 19:00 until 21:00. The event is open to everyone who shares an interest in all things digital. Delegates are invited to take part in networking, a team activity and listen to an informal speak and meet with a digital marketing specialist.
Dayna O’brien, a social media specialist at Unicorn will talk about social media best practice, content marketing ideas and her new business venture at the Lavender Farm. The speak and
meet will give delegates the opportunity to ask questions about social media and other aspects of digital marketing.
The event will culminate in a team activity where delegates will test their copywriting, search engine optimisation and marketing skills to design a fictional web page for an event. Learn on the
go from other marketers as you try to out match the team with your digital know-how. There will also be an opportunity to mingle with other marketing professionals and business owners on the
night.
The event is free to attend and open to everyone. Refreshments will be available to purchase on the night from the bar.
March sees the return of The Skill Exchange at No.64 in Ryde with 2 new workshops, networking and information on new marketing trends aimed at business owners. Learn about the
latest Google algorithm changes, compliance and marketing resources on 29th March from 18:30.
At the last event, 3 speakers gave an insight into 3 areas of digital marketing which included search engine optimisation and reducing bounce rate, Facebook Live and branding and
when to do it. The event was attended by local marketers, creatives and business owners who all shared their knowledge and ideas with networking at the end.
Callum Murphy, project manager at Desk Digital said:
“There seems to be a real appetite for digital marketing events on the Island. Being able to meet and learn together is an important step towards collaboration – something which I’m passionate about.
“Both events are designed to enhance people’s understanding of digital marketing and foster an environment where people can work together.”
