The day covered many aspects of getting a chorus to think about what they’re promoting, eg, the GWC are a fun group of guys, love a sing + drink in the pub afterwards. Then taking those points and applying it into different areas of your Marketing Strategies.Dan & Lawence at the Marketing Day
Some chorus members were lucky enough to have mock interviews, get taught the ins and outs of the Newspaper trade and also how to deal with Radio Djs random and vain questioning!

The day inspired us to involve Thought Den by using our creative heads and have some fun with getting people into the ‘real Barbershop’ and away from straw boaters, moustaches and stripey waistcoats (even though it looks sexy, I know).

Big thanks to Alan Goldsmith and team from BABS, LABBS and Sweet Ads for organising the day.
