A free marketing summit for the region, enabling firms to gain valuable information and advice about inbound marketing, is being organised at the north’s second biggest business park.
Newton Aycliffe company Thrive is bringing industry experts from the world of digital marketing to the Xcel Centre on Aycliffe Business Park, on Friday 6th June.
The event is to celebrate International Inbound Week, bringing together businesses and marketers to educate attendees about digital marketing and lead generation.
Attendees will have an opportunity to collaborate and network with peers and the guest speakers, while learning about the challenges, opportunities and benefits that businesses face though a series of presentations and Q&A sessions.
Rachel from Thrive said: “Content delivered will cover topics that are most important to businesses, all aimed at helping them to make the most appropriate and beneficial decisions for their organisations.
“The overall objective of the event is to deliver useful, applicable content, provide excellent networking opportunities and deliver ‘take aways’ that can be effectively implemented into businesses for immediate effect.”
Rachel says inbound marketing methodology is the best way to turn strangers into customers.
She launched Thrive with co-director Johnny Woods earlier this year, merging their two media companies – Au Fait Marketing and Echo Graphics – to create a nine-man digital team at their HUB Workspace offices.
She’s also a member of the Aycliffe Business Park Community (ABPC) steering group and is heading up the ‘promotion’ task group as part of ABPC’s ‘Shaping The Future’ exercise in conjunction with Business Durham. “I’m passionate about marketing and very passionate about Aycliffe Business Park,” says Rachel.
Afternoon tea with cakes will  be provided at this event which is sponsored by Business Durham, Teesside University, Digital City and the South Durham Enterprise Agency.
