This course was created with freelancers / solo practitioners, small and medium business, creative professionals and business support organisations in mind. Designed for busy professionals, this hands-on, practically focused course will help anyone who wants to write better marketing copy and website text. Whatever business you’re in, we’ll show you how to make your writing clearer, more powerful, and effective. You’ll discover ways to kick-start your writing and make the most of your strengths. And you'll leave us armed with a variety of practical tips and techniques to build your confidence and effectiveness as a writer. Writing Creative Marketing Copy Marketing copy is a crucial part of your business communications. The copy you write needs to speak on your behalf and represent you, your company, your service or your product. To achieve your goals, it has to be informative, well-constructed and persuasive. Whether you’re writing brochures, flyers, sales emails, advertisements, direct marketing mailouts or radio spots, your copy should have a personality that reflects your brand and its values. Achieving a distinctive and attractive tone of voice is the main focus of this course. Writing for the Web is different. Web users have notoriously short attention spans, so you need to know how to engage them immediately, give them the information they need and get your key business messages across as quickly and memorably as possible. Your tutor will show you how to write focused, user-friendly Web content through a series of creative yet practical exercises. As well as learning how to adapt text written for print publications so that it works on the Web, you’ll also find out how to optimise your content for search engines and improve your position in search results. What you will need to bring: an example of current marketing and promotional copy (flyer, leaflet, brochure, etc) Tutor: Piers Alder Cost: £180 per person Date: 30-31 March 2010 Time: 10:00 – 16.30 Venue: The Architecture Centre, Narrow Quay, Bristol BS1 4QA Lunch is included.

Is your answer often met with that "glazed" look? Do you really want to generate more business through word of mouth? Think about the last networking event you went to...who do you remember meeting? My guess is that you might be struggling to remember more than a handful. Let's face it, we meet a lot of people at networking events. And unless we're remembered by key people, then it's a bit of a waste of time. Furthermore, I don't need to harp on about the importance of first impressions. And yet do you get the response that you're looking for when you answer the most-asked-networking question? I'm afraid to say that many of us fall at the first hurdle. As such we are missing opportunities by not being able to articulate what we do in a way that’s easy for others to understand. The aim of this Bristol-based workshop is to improve your chances of referrals from the moment you open your mouth. This focused workshop builds on the 5 step networking conversation that was covered in the Manage Your Mingling workshop. By the end of the workshop you will have: Five succinct and interesting introductions that you feel confident using. Targeted messages which have been tried and tested with fellow delegates. Phrases to enhance your conversational flexibility A formula for telling credibility-boosting stories that prove you will make a difference. A memorable metaphor to illustrate your offering or postioning An understanding of how to avoid being remembered for the wrong reasons Spent time working on your own business with the help of other professionals Developing and deepening relationships takes time. But it takes a lot less time, when the key people actually remember who you are and the value you create. Owing to the small numbers in the session, only 2 members from any one agency may attend. If you're concerned that a consistent message isn't currently being conveyed by your client facing staff, please contact me as I can run a tailored session for you in house. To book your place: http://makeyourselfmemorable.eventbrite.com "Melissa's approach to training is so refreshing, and makes it easy for delegates to interact with one another and learn the ropes quickly. The 'Make Yourself Memorable' course has been devised to help you really work out the message you want to get across when in a networking scenario, using seven simple and memorable steps. I gained a real confidence boost, and can't wait to get out there and put my new found skills to the test!" Sylvie Pender, Account Director at Corixa Communications "I loved the session and it's given me a real boost – really needed to get my elevator statement right and it's moved me so much closer to that. Make yourself Memorable is a must for anyone who wants to make first impressions count." Alex Farrow, Creative Director, Barneys Marketing and Communications "An incredibly useful workshop for creatives looking to develop their networking skills. Loads to take away and put into practice immediately." Gary Bristow, Designer "Really helpful to get away from the desk and consider how best to present Oakleaf to potential clients and referrers.

The images are raw and intense, depicting the existential quality of each location. Andrew Jackson, based in Birmingham, has devised and shown work all over the UK. His work deals with the everyday, sometimes captured through reframing the figure or confining itself to detail. His photographs are again intense and often melancholic in feel.

Main character Robert D, a DJ, makes an existential journey west from London, in an unlikely English form of the road movie. As others have commented, the slightly dour and drab quality of the landscape reflects a period in British history just prior to the huge political changes that occurred under Margaret Thatcher. A great soundtrack defines the film, including Len Lovich and Wreckless Eric.

It will explore different and shared experiences, from across the decades, of the transition from childhood to adulthood, through the label of “teenager”. Selected photographs will be interwoven with timelines showing key moments that took place both locally and nationally. A series of workshops with people from South Bristol have informed the development of this exhibition. Exhibition open Monday-Friday from 25 June-23 July.
