This week I met to discuss the project with Mike Blackburn Chairman of the Greater Manchester LEP, who was quick to realise the potential and offer full support. Greater Manchester Business Week will be the media partner on the project guaranteeing great exposure for members of SME club. A major sponsorship deal will be announced later this month and we are looking for a Digital Marketing manager to join the pro.manchester executive team.
Included in the SME club project are the e-team. So what is the e-team all about? E-Commerce, E-business and social media are essential for any business and the e-team is a group of specialist businesses in this space. It is important we engage with the best thinkers, who will challenge every step of the process and ensure we deliver a product fit for purpose to engage with the one hundred thousand businesses in Greater Manchester.
E-commerce, e-business, web design, layout, SEO, PPC, Keyword strategies, e-mail programmes, remarketing, retargeting, link strategies, integrating social media, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, video, cloud, and even Google+, if you have something to offer the e-team and want to join the squad get in touch. If you have something to learn (and we all do) get on the SME club mailing list. It is going to be the biggest initiative ever undertaken in this space and it is all private sector led.
SME club and the e-team will be huge. The web site will be up soon. It has been designed by E-word as part of their contribution to the project. We always say, ask the private sector for money and you have a problem, show the private sector a way to make money and you have a solution.
After all, we are pro.manchester, who would not work with us.
pro.manchester SME club. It is going to be huge.
