Future First, a London based web design agency are running a series of one day Internet Marketing Training Workshops over the next few weeks near Old Street.  The course covers the use of social media in the business environment, SEO, Blogging  and Twitter.  I went on the course last year and fond it very informative.

Future First also redesigned this blog for me last year and I am happy to recommend it to anyone who wants an entry level introduction to the topic.  The course costs £500 + VAT but that can be reimbursed under the Train 2 Gain Leadership and Management Grant, if you qualify.

How prepared are you for the Legal Services Act?

Gateway Media are a very accomplished media agency with some blue-chip clients.  I was therefore delighted to be invited to speak on the 2nd March at the above workshop about the Legal Services Act 2007 and the implications for lawyers.  I will be taking a look at the Legal Services Act and its main provisions in a talk entitled “The Legal Services Act Explained“.  The introduction of Alternative Business Structures is now only a year away.

After me will be two very interesting sessions on marketing and the use of digital media.  The “Marketing Refresher” session is aimed at lawyers and how to promote professional services.  It will deal with marketing basics and the issues business owners need to think about when promoting their brands.

The final session “Practical Steps”  will be devoted to digital media, promotional strategies and developing your online presence.

It should be an interesting (half) afternoon – and it’s free!
