      Hi @louise-may , nice to meet you. I’m Matt. Bid writing, hey. I feel like I know a lot about that area ATM, though, for the US territory

      If you’re free for a 1-2-1, I’d love that. You mentioned that you’re also an SME looking to build your business. I can’t help with that directly, but I can help you connect with your target market. Why don’t…

          • Thanks for sharing this, Chris.

            It’s great to see practical support available for businesses that are looking to embrace digital technology but may not have the resources or expertise in-house to take that next step. Programmes like this can help remove some of the barriers to innovation and growth.

            We’d be interested to hear from any members… Read more

            Had a chat with Sandip

            @Sandip and I just chatted in his weekly surgery about marketing and he’s really given me stuff to think about – cemented some of my “ideas” and uncovered a hidden benefit of what I am offering.

            30 mins that was GOLD! I would recommed you popping into his Growth Engine weekly surgery – every Thursday, 10:00–10:30am

            Now, full discolosure – you do…

            • Stuart, that genuinely made my day, thank you!

              The free taster is indeed something I offer (would have been awkward if I didn’t, eh Stuart 😄). So do feel free to reach out if you want a chat, or just jump on my Growth Engine office hours call, every Thursday at 10am.

              He is a brilliant man

            • 💚 Wellbeing Wednesday 💚

              This week’s wellbeing lesson has been a simple one for me… slow down.

              After having last week off and being away from the office again next week, I came into Monday with what felt like a mountain of things to catch up on. My usual instinct would be to run at 100 miles an hour, juggling 10 different priorities at once and trying to get…

              • gosh, so much time rushing. Well, mainly the rushing is in my brain, but you know what I mean. I have learnt to slow things down though, and can see the benefit of this. I love this post, as people forget how important managing our own wellbeing is. 😍

              • Think we’re all guilty of overloading the to do lists and all feel the need to be ‘busy’ every minute of the working day. Busy doesn’t always mean productive though so in order to be more productive. perhaps we should be taking these breaks and moments to recharge and refocus. Good reminder Claire and glad you had a relaxing Birthday week.

              Who is your marketing actually aimed at?

              Most founders I ask answer one of two ways.

              Too broad: E.g. “Small businesses.” “B2B companies.” “Anyone who needs what we do.”
              If it could be anyone, it speaks to no one.

              Narrow but generic: E.g. “SME founders in the UK.” “Marketing directors at mid-market companies.”
              Better, but that’s a job title, not a person with a problem to solve.

              What…
