Manchester Speedmatching Event
MediaCom Manchester, M3 3HF
Monday 13 May 2019 14:00 - 16:30
Join us on Monday 13 May for an afternoon with Manchester-based media and creative industry experts to get on the spot advice, ideas and feedback.
Are there aspects of your communications strategy that you would like to get advice on? Do you have a campaign or event on the horizon or new audience you would like to engage? Then sign up for our free Speedmatching event.
How does Speedmatching work?
Speedmatching, based on the speed dating model, is a fun and informal way to get 1-to-1 advice from media and communication experts for your charity.
The event bring’s together attendees from the charity sector with media and creative industry professionals who want to volunteer their time and expertise with charity’s like yours.
You’ll spend a few minutes with each volunteer, giving you the opportunity to discuss your charity’s marketing and communications challenge(s).
Volunteer support for your charity
As the name suggests, Speedmatching will also give you the opportunity to meet a volunteer “match” for your charity. Each charity attendee and volunteer will be given a match card. If you both mark on your card that you’d like to work together post-event, then it’s a match and we’ll put you in touch.
Manchester media experts
You’ll be joining volunteers from global communications agency, MediaCom as well as other Manchester based media and creative professionals.
