Cambridge-based marketers filled a quayside watering hole last Wednesday, proving once again that social networking doesn’t have to be PC.
For all its merits social media has one significant flaw: there’s nothing particularly social about it. The personal computer can’t ‘talk’ business and whilst it can help you make contacts, are they really sustainable?
On Wednesday 10th March 2010 the Only Marketing Jobs tour bus tethered up alongside the Cam to provide one hundred Cambridge-based marketers with the opportunity to develop new professional contacts, whilst galvanising existing ones. The River Bar & Kitchen provided the venue as informal networking dove-tailed a structured speed-networking hour, during which attendees were invited to speak with someone new at the tinkle of a bell. Each person made ten new contacts in this time.
“Speed networking is a fantastic way to make new contacts, quickly,” enthused Keith Robinson, chief networking officer of the digital recruitment directory, CareerSiteAdvisor. “The structure means that everyone picks up lots of valuable information from entirely different sources, leaving with at least one new weapon in their armoury.”
