Happy New Year!

I hope everyone enjoys a prosperous and fulfilling year!

2013 brought about some fantastic opportunities and experiences for me (including: interning with Bon Jovi's management, achieving a 1st class degree, getting a great job with Fresh Content and running the Digital Marketing Show) and I'd be more than happy for 2014 to be just as good!

What were the highlights of your 2013?

Done and Dusted: Digital Marketing Show 2013

The 25th of November 2013 brought around one of the busiest weeks of my life.

After hours spent travelling to London, we finally arrived, unpacked and headed to the hub of it all - ExCel! (Luckily the hotel was right outside the venue, so it wasn't too far to travel every morning...)

After putting the final touches (an email here and a little panic there), we were ready for it all to start at 9am the next day.

By 9am queues were forming - the audience were ready and waiting for the first Digital Marketing Show to begin!

Each day the show was alive and buzzing with attendees, exhibitors, tech team and the show crew.

The theatres were jam-packed...

Speakers were in full flow...

And the exhibitors were engaging with the audience.

We've had some fantastic feedback and can't wait to do it all again in 2014. If you missed out this year then don't worry, we've got it covered. Check out our 2013 review with presentations, videos and some of the best bits.

Of course, we're not going to leave you to battle in the big wide world of digital marketing alone for the rest of the year. The Digital Marketing Magazine offers advice, tips and great articles all year around. I'm the new Deputy Editor so let me know your thoughts!

50 Shades... of Digital Marketing!

Since joining the Fresh Content and Digital Marketing Show teams, I have been working on two exciting projects - a new e-book and the (fast-approaching!) Digital Marketing Show.

You'll have to wait until the 26th November 2013 to attend the show but I'm happy to announce that the e-book, 50 Shades of Digital Marketing, is now online!

I co-edited the e-book alongside Francesca James and I must admit I am proud of the final result.

The idea behind 50 Shades of Digital Marketing is that although it might be argued that ‘digital’ is turning marketing more into a science than an art form, there are certainly many different opinions as to what businesses should be doing in this brave new world.

Our ebook features commentary from 50 digital leaders and offers a range of opinions from experts and practitioners in the field.

Re-blog: Newbie Alert!

"As a newbie to both Fresh Content and the fast-paced world of digital marketing, I expected my head to be in a spin before the end of my first day, let alone my first week. Now I’m at the beginning of week 3 as Event and Content Marketing Executive and I can happily confirm that my head is firmly still in place!"

...read more of my first blog for the Fresh Content website here. 

Hello from the world of employment!

Yep, that's right. I got a job!

If I'm honest, I'm surprised it happened so quickly. I had visions of myself being 12 months down the line and still sat in my bedroom, tweeting about being bored and/or wishing I was back at university. 

However, Fresh Content came to the rescue! 

Fresh Content are the great business I'm working for. They, obviously, create fresh content. But they (or should I say, we) do this to help companies and brands engage with prospects, customers and partners. It's all relevant, bespoke and up-to-date.

I better re-introduce myself then! I'm no-longer Hannah, BCU graduate, but now I am Hannah, Event and Content Marketing Executive. Pretty fancy title, eh?

In reality I'm working on a really interesting new event called The Digital Marketing Show. 

It takes place in London on the 26th, 27th and 28th November 2013. The show will have over 150 speakers and a number of stands and great things going on. The Digital Marketing Show isn't for digital experts though (although you are welcome!), it's for marketing professionals who want to bridge the gaps in their knowledge. Plus you get all this for a grand total of £0. It's free! Check it out, follow us on Twitter and come to the show.(I've made it even easier by adding a link to the tickets... no excuses!).

My role in the show includes oragnising speakers, contributing to the social media, creating content for the website and... more to come! As it's my first week I'm still learning about the role but it's been fantastic so far and I expect much of the same for the future. 

So, apologies if I don't get around to updating my blog as often as I'd like but you can keep up-to-date with my work via The Digital Marketing Show!
