Who'd have thought wearing a name badge on the right hand side of your jacket, rather than the left, would help people to read it more clearly? Or that you can say as much in three minutes as you can in fifteen if you are passionate?
These were just a couple of the tips that digital online marketing professionals lapped up, courtesy of networking guru Lloyd Dalton-Brown at last night's networking evening, held within a stone's throw of Spitalfields market.
I met communications strategists, marketing recruiters, website designers, social networkers using their skills to boost company reputations on Twitter and Facebook.
All told, the evening was exhausting, fascinating and downright noisy. Alcohol has always been a social lubricant guaranteed to lift the volume of a group conversation. Last night, enthusiasm was lubricant enough for most people's vocal chords. Who said passion in the workplace was dead?
In both social and work contexts, the sign of a good evening is generally considered to be when time escapes unnoticed. Well, last night, two hours elapsed in the mere blink of an eye. That's enough to give the evening - fewer syllables to chew over) and to Adrian from Mezzo and Simon from Only Marketing Jobs, among others, for making it happen.
