Seminars

Our Seminars provide an entertaining half-day that passes-on to you a wealth of ideas to get you started on the marketing road to success. They don't even clash with your work-week, as we hold these sessions on Saturday mornings.

Our full Seminar Program, with dates, locations and costs will appear here soon. We also provide tailored in-house training for firms with 10 or more people wishing to attend.

Workshops

Our workshops are much more intimate. Bring along your most challenging marketing problem and we'll brainstorm it with you. We'll look at what you've done so far, what ideas you've come up with, and we'll throw our own "ten cents worth" into the hat.

You'll also have the opportunity to discuss other people's challenges, and maybe you're facing them too.

It's a great networking opportunity, creative brainstorming session and a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Come back soon for details of our next Seminar and Workshop series and come and join us.
