SUMMARY:friday 18th september
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 7am\, with the meeting starting at 7.30am. \nA selection of pastries are included with your ticket.\n(Breakfast rolls can be ordered in advance or on the door) \nOur speaker this month is Flick Hamnett-Day \nSocial Media Isn’t Advertising: It’s Networking Without the Handshake \nWe’ve turned social media into a digital advertising board — posting offers\, promoting services and constantly asking people to buy. But there’s a problem: behind every screen is a human being who wants to feel connected\, understood and valued. \nIn this engaging and practical talk\, Flick Hamnett-Day challenges businesses to rethink how they use social media. Drawing on her experience in social media marketing\, networking\, community building and 15 years of leadership in Scouting\, Flick explores why the most effective social strategies aren’t built around selling more\, but connecting better. \nDiscover how to make your social media more human\, create genuine conversations\, build trust and turn online relationships into real business opportunities — without having to become an influencer or post every day. \nBecause social media was never meant to be a digital billboard. It was built for people. \n  \nAs always\, tea and coffee are included\, with plenty of opportunities to network before\, during and after the meeting. \nAll attendees  will automatically be entered into our monthly Business Book Giveaway\, kindly sponsored by Voice Confident. \nPhotos thanks to our Media Sponsor Nicola Auckland Photography.
