The art of social marketing

On Monday 9th November NEPA hosted a sixty minute social  marketing masterclass by Stephen Davies held at the Northern Counties Club in Hood Street, Newcastle.

The venue, a long-established traditional gentleman’s club in the heart of Newcastle proved a popular choice offering comfortable seats, a welcoming bar and a range of nibbles for guests to enjoy while waiting for the prompt 6pm start.

After a brief welcome and introduction from NEPA Chairman Ronnie Burn, online marketing ‘guru’ Stephen Davies delivered his hour-long talk, accompanied by a lively on screen presentation covering every aspect of modern marekting methods from movies to meerkats via Twitter and Facebook.

Although in effect a ‘one-man’ show, Stephen held his audience spellbound with his insight and opinions, and left the packed room with plenty of food for thought.
The audience of over fifty NEPA members and guests gave the speaker a rapturous and well-deserved round of appluase and reported that it was an hour well spent in the company of a speaker who knew his subject and was able to make is point with charm and wit.

NEPA would like to thank Stephen for an educational talk, the Northern Counties Club managemnet and staff for their hospitality, Liz Davies for organising the event, and all the members who came along to enjoy the class. We have high hopes of running more such seminars and workshops in the new year and would welcome suggestions from members for future speakers and subjects worth covering.
