April 2010 | Off Your Facebook

Firstly due to unforseen circumstances we have had to postpone "Off Your Facebook" on the 21st of April. We will through be rescheduling and let everyone who had enrolled know as soon as this is confirmed.

This is a shame as it had generated alot of interest and alot of people were looking forward to it.

Currently we are working with UVA in London on their "Speed Of Light" installation as part of Virgin Medias 10 year celebration of Fibre Optics.  We are providing the event management service for the 12 days that the event runs as well as training for the stewards who will be working on the event. Karen is in London again for three weeks and I just left her on the phone as she ran off to deal with the fire alarm....mm

Continuing with all things southern as well as the imminent approach of the Celebrating Surrey Event (www.celebratingsurrey.org.uk) on the weekend of the 26th & 27th of June we are working with them to deliver a large outdoor concert on the Friday (25th June) as an opening to the weekend. The breadth of the programme is amazing with over 4,000 participants and a weekend audience of over 15,000 anticipated, things like a giant pod made from bookshelves for storytelling (right) - Oh and Black Elks direct descendant will be performing part of the spoken word element of the Citizens Advice Bureau's 70 year anniversary commission.....

As well as regular trips to Guilford we can now add Hampshire to our list as we are now the consultants to their 2012 Cultural Olympiad programme. Taking place on five outdoor sites over a 12 day period in 2012 thier ambition and vision is to be applauded and we can't wait to make a start on it.

 We are continuing our work with the Youth Music Mentoring scheme over the next three months around the UK after being awarded an further contract by Youth Music to deliver the training.

Now off to Liverpool for a site visit as well as a quick drink at the PRSF event for their wards for their New Music Plus" (Producers Partnership) CDH was one of the nominators of the scheme and are pleased (and proud) that Kyrsko (Matthew to his friends) was a successful candidate. He's working with the Whitworth Gallery and taking them to places they've (And I suspect he) has never been. Bandstands, Gramaphone's, Boating Ponds its all in the mix.

Off Your Facebook

“off your facebook”

how babycakes stumbled upon sales strategy through social networking

book now @ http://www.eventelephant.com/offyourfacebook

A one day seminar with Dave Smith, Babycakes Wholesale and Export Manager, and Dean Taylor, Artist and Label Manager, looking at the use of Social Networking and Online Media as a business tool for companies and organisations.

Here we are, smack in the middle of the information age discovering that our greatest advantages aren’t coming from what we know but from whom we know. Today's high achievers are not so much a product of superior expertise as they are a product of superior networking.

The growth of communication via the internet in the new millennium has changed the way that we do business forever. The race is on to see which businesses can take advantage of the opportunities this brings.

Drunk on an orgy of social networking accounts, the list is endless, but how do we use them in a coherent and strategic way to market or promote our organisations?

With a focus on the creative industries, the aim of the day is to use real examples to understand the implications of the technology as well as give all involved the opportunity to discuss the ways in which they may use it for themselves, their businesses and organisations.

What are the current and future trends and how do we go about joining the dots to make real our digital networks for commerce and advantage.

who the seminar is for:

All who want to learn about networking and online media or want to use it in a more systematic, strategic and beneficial way including:

* Individuals * Small to Medium Creative Enterprises * Third Sector Organisations

what the seminar covers:

* A real life case study and success story of Babycakes and their use of social media marketing to communities, not just consumers

* How to use Social Networking websites and Online Media to help promote your product, company or organisation. Q&A about the talks, about how it affects those taking part and what the future trends and technologies might be

* The opportunity to network yourselves in the "non-virtual” with other similar individuals and organisations

New Year

Into 2010 and this is the first blog of the year for us. Met up with a social media expert who immediately told me off for not updating our blog since October. So if your reading this .....


(Left - CDH papercut by Julene Harrison) Firstly we've moved office ... In the same building but now have our own dedicated space which is great.


All contact details remain the same though - we thought we'd make it easy for you.

In November we delivered the Soup Collectives 10 year retrospective at Islington mill, a lovely intimate event showing the amazing work they have done over the past decade. Oh and Elbow played, amazing to see such a huge band in such small surroundings. They were if course amazing but they played their part to perfection by being part of the event rather than the event itself.

The following day it was Salford Lads Club for the performance by Rawchestra, (www.rawchestra.org.uk) led by Joe Botham, of 'Dirty Old Town' based on the song of the same name by Ewan MacColl. BBC philharmonic players with young musicians from Salford played four original pieces to an accompanying film in the historic surroundings of the club.

The atmosphere was great and the performance full if energy and vitality. Sound provided by Massive Tech (www.massivetech.co.uk) was fantastic in challenging circumstances (25 musicians, mc's, strings, brass, kit, dj and a very live room)

The welcome from the lads club was wonderful and our first real foray into concieving, producing and delivering projects was a great sucess.

To commemorate the event we had 100 limited edition posters designed, signed and screen printed by the marvellous gig poster artist Nick Rhodes (www.switchopen.com)
