Nido Marketing Fun Day 08

Nido Marketing Puts ‘Fun’ into Fundraising

Nido Marketing (www.nidomarketing.co.uk), an award-winning telemarketing consultancy in Brighton, is to hold the third annual Fun Day at Stanmer Park to raise funds for Honeycroft Under-5s Centre (www.honeycroft.supanet.com/) in Hove. Taking place on Friday 25th July from 2pm, the event provides local businesses with the chance to contribute to the development of the children’s facility while making the most of the summer.

The Fun Day is open to all local businesses and friends of Nido Marketing, and activities include Rounders, a penalty shootout and a raffle comprised of donations from local businesses which last year included included Audi and AI Digital.

Staff of Nido Marketing have so far raised over £1000 for the centre through events such as the Fun Day and their annual 5-a-side football tournament. Earlier this year the team painted a jungle themed mural for the children across 3 walls of the Honeycroft premises which relies on contributions to pay for 30% of the costs.

Jacky Misson, Founding Director of Nido Marketing, said: “Corporate social responsibility should always mix the serious issues with enjoyable activities, and the resounding success of our fundraising initiatives in recent years has been accomplished on that ethos”.

Nido Marketing is an award-winning telemarketing company focused on high-quality lead generation services. Set up by Jacky Misson in 2003 with a loan from the Prince’s Trust, the company now employs twelve people and in 2006 won ‘Best Place to Work’ at the Brighton & Hove business awards.

Honeycroft Under-5’s Centre was founded in the late 1960’s to provide playgroups for children from all backgrounds. The facility has continued to serve the community ever since, moving to larger premises in 1999 to accommodate popular demand.

Nido Marketing Sales & Marketing Network - 19th of June

Nido Marketing Sales & Marketing Network - 19th of June

Thank you to everyone who has booked a place at our next Nido Marketing and Sales Network. We have had a great response and have just 13 places left so if you haven’t booked yet – EMAIL ME NOW!!!

About the event

The Nido Marketing and Sales Network has been created specifically for Sussex companies who employ dedicated Sales and Marketing professionals. The purpose is to provide an informal and engaging event so you can network, share best practice and learn from each other.

This is achieved through:
- learning and development through specialist sales and marketing speakers
- peer to peer knowledge transfer in small facilitated groups where we work together on solutions to sales and marketing issues and opportunities for growth and strategic partnerships
- ‘Spot light’ sessions where you have the opportunity to present to the group for 5 minutes
- informal networking afterwards in the bar

68 Sussex based companies have been invited (list attached) – all have dedicated sales and marketing people and tend to have between 10 and 100 employees.

Please take a look at the attached list of invited companies and let me know if there are any that you especially want to be in the same group as. Similarly, do let me know if there are any companies you would prefer not to be in the same group with.

This is important for us to know when organising your work groups of 4-5 Sales and Marketing people and MDs. Some people like to work with people from their own industry sector whereas some people prefer to talk to peers from another industry for new approaches – either is fine but we do need to know beforehand.

Sponsors and Associates

Thank you to Solica for sponsoring this event and to the MD Hub 100 who we are partnering with.

Thanks also to Sussex Promotions and printing.com who are donating pens and pads – what nice people they all are!!

We are looking forward to seeing you on the 19th – if you have any questions beforehand do call or email.

Nido Marketing Launch Sales and Marketing Network

Award winning business-to-business telemarketing company, Nido Marketing, launched the first of what will be quarterly learning and networking hubs, aimed at sales and marketing professionals. Branded "The Nido Sales and Marketing Network", the purpose is to bring together sales and marketing professionals in an informal and engaging setting so that they can network, share best practice and learn from each other. 35 such professionals attended the first event, held at the Lighthouse in Brighton.

The network was the brainchild of Nido's Founding Director and Sussex Business Award entrepreneur of the year, Jacky Misson, who commented, "I could see there was a real need for marketing and sales individuals to meet with their peers from other businesses. It's not unusual for the marketing or sales person in a business to work alone and this can be quite isolating. So, my overriding aim behind the network was to bring together sales and marketing people from different organisations."

Learning, combined with problem sharing and resolution was also high on the agenda of the event. Three experienced facilitators (Phil Green from The Hub 100, Phil Thompson from Sussex Enterprise and Peter Burden from See Step) each ran sessions where delegates were invited to share any problems or challenges, before being offered solutions by their group. Award winning Chartered Marketer, Dee Blick was invited as a guest speaker and she shared tips on four key areas of marketing.

With sponsorship from Audi Crawley and Solica, the event ended on a high note, with delegate feedback ranging from "the best networking event that I've ever attended" to, "I gained a lot of useful advice from other sales and marketing professionals and was reassured that the challenges faced by us are faced by many others."

Concluded Jacky Misson: "The Nido Sales and Marketing Network goes way beyond the remit of most networking events where people from a range of backgrounds simply chat over drinks and exchange business cards. Here, we combined informal networking with learning, sharing ideas and peer-to-peer knowledge transfer. We’re already planning the next event and if this first one is anything to go by, then I think we have really struck the right note with sales and marketing professionals."

Nido Marketing team continues support for local charity

Nido Marketing team continues support for local charity

Business to business telemarketing consultancy Nido Marketing (www.nidomarketing.co.uk) spent the day painting a mural across three walls of the Honeycroft Under-5s Centre on Friday 22nd February, 2008.

The 11-strong team have decided on a jungle theme and are prepared to transform the unused space into a playgroup facility in just 8 hours. This is in addition to two events last year – a Fun Day held at Stanmer Park and a 5-a-side football tournament – which collectively raised £989 for the centre.

The volunteer-led Centre (www.honeycroft.supanet.com) which caters for children of all backgrounds up to 8 years old is funded by trustees, and fees only cover 70% of costs. The remainder is gained through initiatives such as the Brighton Community Partnership which originally alerted Nido Marketing to the help needed for the Centre to survive.

Ruby Egau, Events Manager at Nido Marketing, said: “As well as our fundraising activities for the Centre, we wanted to have a fun day helping out in a very practical way. We hope our efforts will help Honeycroft show a proactive approach when showing their facilities to prospective donors”.

Nido Marketing was started by Director Jacky Misson in 2003 and has since grown to a team of eleven people. In 2006 the company won the ‘Best Place to Work’ category at the Brighton & Hove Business Awards.

Honeycroft Under-5s Centre was founded in the late 1960’s and has continued to serve the community since, moving to a larger premises in 1999 to accommodate popular demand.

5 A Side Football Tournament

The Nido Marketing & Cardens Cup 2007

Nido Marketing in partnership with Cardens Accountants will be hosting their, now legendary, Annual Charity 5-a-side Football Tournament on Thursday the 8th of November at the Porstslade Community Sports Centre.

As usual 12 teams from local businesses will be battling it out on the pitch to become the overall tournament winner and lift the crown of Champions of 2007! Last year local graphic design agency Door 22 emerged as worthy winners after an excellent performance throughout the competition.

The aim of the event (apart from having fun and showing off your footballing prowess) is to raise funds and awareness for two local charities; Honeycroft Under 5's Centre and the Rockinghorse Appeal. Last year we raised £720 and we want to smash this target this year so we need all the help we can get!

We will be holding a raffle on the night so if you would like to contribute a prize to this worthy cause it will be greatly received and in return your company will get a mention on the night. There is plenty of space for spectators to watch the action from the bar area so bring along your supporters to cheer you on!

Date: Thursday 8th November

Time: The first game will kick off at 18:30 and the tournament should finish at approximately 22:30

Entrance Fee: £75 per team

There will be games and activities taking place throughout the afternoon ranging from beat the keeper to rounders, which we hope you will participate in and enjoy. If you would prefer not to take part in the games that is absolutely fine, you are most welcome to stroll around the grounds, visit Stanmer House or simply use the day as an opportunity to chat with other people attending.

Honeycroft Under 5’s Centre
The charity we are supporting is the Honeycroft Under 5’s Centre opened in the late 1960s. Each year it has increased in size, popularity and services, it has now become one of the largest playgroups in Hove and Portslade. Since 1984 Honeycroft has integrated children with “special needs” into the playgroup. All children are treated equally and have access to all activities. In an attempt to provide even more resources for children with special needs, and more importantly, to promote parental choice, Honeycroft developed SNIP (Special Needs Integrated in Playgroups) Through this work all providers of under 5’s care in the Brighton, Hove and Lewes area are being encouraged to provide integrated play and are able to access the information, resources and support SNIP is able to offer. Honeycroft is not run, or funded by, statutory agencies, it is a voluntary charity that is run by Trustees who employ the Centre's Co-ordinator and staff team. For more information go to www.honeycroft.supanet.com

Getting There

Car: Stanmer Park is situated approximately 3 miles north of Brighton, off the A27 Lewes Road and next to the University Of Sussex. There are many areas to park on the grass verges just off the small road that runs through the site. Parking is free!
Bus: The No. 25 from Brighton city centre stops right outside the park.
Train: Falmer is the nearest train station and is literally a 5 minute walk from the park. As you come out of the station head towards the University Of Sussex (not Brighton) and use the underpass to get across the A27. Once at the University entrance turn left and the park is a short stroll ahead of you.
