Manchester Social Media Surgery welcomes Crain’s Manchester Business
Highly regarded weekly business newspaper for Greater Manchester
I’m really excited to share that Samrana Hussain, business reporter at Crain’s Manchester Business, the highly regarded weekly business newspaper for Greater Manchester will be attending the Social Media Surgery later this month.
Manchester Social Media Surgery events offer real life advice and case studies from an experienced panel of digital and social media marketers who discuss social media projects and issues presented by the audience.
As shared earlier in the week, Hussain reported on the free Social Media Surgery events on Crain’s Manchester Business and I’m delighted that the experienced journalist is joining us at the event on Tuesday April 13. Hussain recently joined Manchester Crain’s Business from ITV Granada.
Crain’s Manchester Business, behind the popular Crain’s Manchester Business Best Places to Work Awards launched in the North West in the 2007 as the first city business weekly of its kind in Western Europe and won the North West Newspaper Awards Weekly Newspaper Website of the Year award within two years.
The newspaper’s target audience at launch was Greater Manchester’s upper-level executives and business owners.
As reported by regional media and marketing portal, How-Do.co.uk:
“The title is modelled on the business weekly publications which exist in most sizeable US cities. Crain’s itself publishes four city business titles: New York, Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland. Crain’s also publishes Ad Age, the US equivalent of Campaign magazine in the UK.”
We’re delighted to welcome Samrana Hussain to the Social Media Surgery and hope our panel is up for any tough questions on Twitter being used as a tool for investigative journalism!
Taking place on the second Tuesday of every month at Innospace (Manchester Metropolitan University’s business incubator) on Chorlton Street between 5-7.30pm, Manchester Social Media Surgery events are free-to-attend, informal networking events that attempt to help Manchester businesses embrace the social media revolution in order to grow their company.
The events are run as an outreach of the Social Media Cafe Manchester network with everyone involved donating their time for free.
The April 13 event is employing a Dragons’ Den format with up to £5,000 worth of expertise and knowledge in the form of advice from the experienced panel.
The theme of the event is: ‘Is Twitter any good for marketing?’
Social Media Surgeons at the event include:
Simon Wharton of search engine specialists, PushON
Adrian Slatcher from Manchester Digital Development Agency (MDDA)
Louise Bolotin freelance journalist who has worked for the BBC among others
Bruce Thomas from social media agency Modern English
The evening will be chaired by Jon Clements from PR firm Staniforth.
Sign up to attend, it’s free!
