We are excited to announce that our fabulous marketing manager, Becca Dean, has been shortlisted in the West Midlands Leadership Awards from TheBusinessDesk.com in the Marketing Leader category 🎉 Becca oversees the marketing needs of our entire business, which covers 4 main festivals, countless external events, and the needs of Shropshire ThinkTank's marketing clients - which covers multiple local businesses.

There's nothing more I love than pouring my ideas into a local business to boost sales and footfall, which is why I launched my own power hour where you can book an ideas fuelled meeting with me 💡 Here's what the epic Ian Groves said about brainstorming with me... "Put simply... I've never met anyone better to sit with and brainstorm brilliant, inspiring, and creative business ideas. If you need to boost your imagination, enthusiasm, and energy to help move your ideas and business forward in 2025, book some time with Beth." Thanks Ian! If you'd like to find out more about what's involved, drop me a message or email Beth@ShropshireFestivals.co.uk 📩 #PowerHour #EventsProf #SmallBusinessOwner #Ideas #Consultancy

Appreciation post for our awesome client, Start Tech 🙌 This week Ian Groves picked up the MSP Titan of the Industry Award (across EMEA!) in Los Angeles 😮 In the same year they've won the UK & Ireland Solution Provider Spotlight Award from CompTIA, the Pax8 Beyond Partner Award in the ‘EMEA Peak Performance – Security’ category in Berlin, and they were named one of Britain’s 50 Best Managed IT Companies. They have seen a 24% increase in turnover in the last year, welcomed 5 new members of staff, and the awesome Jordon Tipper and Kieran Jones have had some very snazzy and well deserved promotions. So, if you need IT support from a stellar bunch of award-winning cyber security experts, you really needn't look any further than Start Tech 🤩 #ShropshireBusiness #MSP #IT #Client

For today's techtimeout we took a team trip to ChocTilly for a chocolate workshop and we had the most epic afternoon! 🍫 If you're looking for a team outing, it's perfect. You get messy, get creative, (get a little competitive!) and get to eat a lot of chocolate! Happy #techtimeouttuesday everyone! Hope you've enjoyed your time off screens as much as the Shropshire Festivals Ltd and Shropshire ThinkTank team 💖

Today it's techtimeout tuesday, which means millions of people will be taking a screen time break to create healthier habits around their tech use. We spend most days glued to our screens - working on projects, using social media for work and pleasure, designing, editing, writing and emailing. We recognise we need more breaks to improve our focus and wellbeing. Thinking about our digital wellbeing is important, and today is about taking a stand to put healthy boundaries in place 🙌 And we can't wait to spend our afternoon having fun with colleagues - putting the Christmas decs up and making some chocolate! 🍫 #techtimeouttuesday

Well done to Shropshire Festivals Ltd for being an award-winning sustainable events business! Beth and Sid picked up this national award last night, in a room full of the biggest festival players in the industry 👏👏👏 It's all very well doing amazing awards worthy stuff BUT the world won't know about it unless you're backed up by a marketing team with... 👉 A copywriter who can put what you do down on paper into an award winning nomination 👉 A social media/digital manager who can shout about what you've achieved across all of your channels changing your brand perception 👉 A PR manager who can get your win featured in the press 👉 A graphic designer who can incorporate that award in to your artwork The result: the world finds out how awesome your business is, your reputation is elevated, it drives new leads, and your team get their hard work recognised which is a huge morale boost which will improve performance. It all means more than a nice looking trophy on a shelf (but we do love our awards shelf!) 💡

Our amazing events team did it again! 😍 If you need their events management expertise in 2025 then get in touch ASAP - they're already nearly booked up! Video skills by Rhea Draycott 📽️

It's free to sign up at https://lnkd.in/ec6b_3K7 I challenge Leanne Crowther, Louise Welsby, Francesca Hutcheson, and Helen Johnson to take an hour off tech next Tuesday - do you accept? And who do you nominate?! #techtimeouttuesday #ScreenTime #DigitalDetox #DigitalWellbeing

Happy birthday to us! 🥳 We have been looking after the marketing needs of lots of businesses and events since 2018!
