It is nearly Christmas and Businesses are still collaborating to innovate in these strange times. Here are a few of the comments and views from our wonderful regular collaborators with SMJ Media Group.

We recorded at a Business meeting to discuss Visions 2021. We had a great background and superb food in Rotisserie Corner, Camberley and Christmas music from Networkers Gareth Wax and Deb Mason Jonathan Hughes.

Our local Omni Local Business Networkers agreed to chat to Rog and Bev about Networking, SMJ Media Group, Omni Local and Life in general. Have a listen to local businesses telling their stories. Are we all going to work together in 2021? You bet we are!!!

Please Note: - If we sound muffled, it will be the masks in place, and apologises for the sound in places, due to DJ Bongo playing those fab tunes.

We embarked on a 4-week journey which totalled 8 sessions and homework to reboot our own creativity directly to use in our businesses. Guess what it worked!! Jonathan, owner of Wordzup took us through Visual Exercises that gave us suggestions to use in our own businesses.

Marketing tool kits that work- Wow that is worth paying for. Four of us this time round took the journey, all Business Owners shared notes, tips, advice and Jonathan’s time and knowledge. Very successful, with lots to take away with us. 

Also surprisingly in a business seminar, we had lots of laughter too.

Well worth the money, new ideas, new contacts and 2020 vision.
