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 s
ales 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.

We will be holding a raffle on the night so if you would like to
