Making conversations about digital marketing count!

When the Pandemic hit in early 2020, Henny Maltby turned to her husband as they both realised their business was going to change forever. Offering online marketing to large corporate businesses who cut budgets left a hole to fill. By opening the conversation up with local businesses, it was obvious what the next chapter would be for them at Pink Elephant Media.

Henny shares her pivotal moment with us and it is a great question for all business owners to consider…

Wendy Harris: Welcome to Making Conversations Count, the Podcast that brings business leaders to you, so that you can hear about their pivotal moments; a turning point in their career or life that really has had an impact and they tell us more about how that has impacted on their life following that pivotal moment.

So, today I have with me the lovely Henny Maltby from Pink Elephant Media.  Henny, it's so great to have you here.  The last time we had a conversation we could have carried on for hours.

Henny Maltby:  I know I'm a chatterbox.

Wendy Harris: Something that we share.  Introduce yourself to everybody, Henny.

Henny Maltby:  Practically, we should just join together now and be done with it.

Wendy Harris: So, Henny, tell the listeners how we first met?
