About this event:

Real Marketing Talk: a conversation with Kardi Somerfield and Hannah Brady.

A panel interview with:

• Hannah Brady (co-founder and Director The Brady Creative; President of the Next Generation Chamber)

• Kardi Sommerfield (Course Leader and Senior Lecturer in Advertising & Digital Marketing; Owner: Fridge Street)

Interviewer: Ken Punter (Lecturer in Digital Marketing; Owner: Oppidium; Digital Northampton Podcast producer and host) Hannah and Kardi kick off this new event by sharing their work, their career journeys and their observations about working in the digital marketing & communications “space”. Come and listen to them, take the chance to ask questions and share your thoughts in this area as well.

Look forward to seeing you there.

We’ll ‘pool’ ideas, discuss things that worked for us and some things that didn’t.

You’ll have a chance to support others and be supported.

This will be a time to relax, to meet others who do similar things and generally have time to think, grow and help develop your work and career in digital marketing & communications.

Possibly most importantly: this won’t be a networking event where you will be “sold to”. This is going to develop over time, and we’d love to hear what you think, what you want and if you’d like to get more involved. Come with ideas.

This event will be held at The Waterside Bar & Restaurant.
