What's Floating Around Cloud 9? 12th March

Week Commencing 12th March...

Well we are late this week as yesterday was a bit of a write off! 

But onwards and upwards for the week ahead and we start with news from the CIPR Northern Conference activity and details of a couple of our confirmed speakers.

Helena Moore, Director of Communications from Bromford is set to be one of our key note speakers and will deliver her take on the way social media has blurred the lines of internal and external communications. This is the story of our journey so far. It’s an honest tale of Facebook, twitter, linkedin, yammer, leadership, trust and a few hairy moments…. And how the discovered generation is merely a state of mind. 

With Q & A sessions this is sure to be an unmissable part of the CIPR Northern Conference.

Also confirmed is  Emma Leech, Director of Communications and Marketing at the University of Nottingham since September 2009. Previously, she spent almost five years as Director of Marketing, Communications and Development at Manchester Metropolitan University.  Emma is Chair of the CIM HE Market Interest Group, sits on the CIM’s Senate and is a former Chair of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations Education and Skills Group. 

Emma currently sits on the CIPR’s Disciplinary Committee and is member of the Chartered Management Institute’s Marketing and Policy Development Committee. Emma has worked in PR and marketing for 24 years, starting her career in fashion and consumer PR on the agency side before working in a local authority, then in tourism and destination marketing before settling in the higher education sector. A Chartered Marketer and a Chartered PR Practitioner, she has won a string of awards for her work across a range of marketing and PR specialisms covering everything from publications and crisis communications to digital innovations, low budget campaigns, social media projects, internal communications, global marketing campaigns  and events. Her team won the 2011 Times Higher Education Outstanding Leadership and Management Award Communications and Marketing Team of the Year award and she was recently announced as 2011 International Brand Master. She has an MBA and holds a range of marketing, PR and management qualifications.

Tickets for the CIPR Northern Conference are now available at an Early Bird discounted rate so please make sure you book early - http://ciprnc2012.eventbrite.com/


Interest in the Dazzling Table Displays service has been off to a great start with plenty of recommendations from all sorts of suppliers who are interested in hiring some of our great products for their events.

Whether its Feathers or Vases, Sea Shells or Candles, we know that those little special touches can make all the difference to an event and it seems our stock pile of accessories is a good resource for the events industry. Don't forget it next time you have an event! http://www.dazzlingtabledisplays.com


 Whilst Fresh PR might be over for another year we wanted to share a great film that our friends at the Video News Agency produced for the event. Showing a summary some of the winners and highlights from the event, it really does us proud and we cannot recommend the Video News Agency highly enough. Please do take a look!

We sign off this week with a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of the unsung heroes of both Cloud 9 and Fresh, Paul Havery. We have worked with Paul since both companies started and Paul beavers away behind the scenes providing all of the production elements for our events, be they slides, our books, brochures, you name it, Paul does the lot and is always on hand to help out - especially when us technophobes in the office get stuck - which happens lot!  Paul hasn't had the best start to the year what with one thing and another but we greatly value his work and send him all of our love and best wishes for his Birthday!

Ciao for now!
