What is your favourite business book and why?

This book shows the power of working together in a mastermind to move your business forward and is hugely inspiring.

Podcasters such as Natalie Eckdahl (Bizchix podcast) and John Lee Dumas and Kate Erickson of EOFire.com who show that with the right systems and processes in place, building your business online is a matter of mathematics. Once you have the building blocks, you can grow by repeat/scale of what works.

Starting out in business, I worked part-time as an IT project manager while building my business on the side and managing that alongside being a mum of three was not only challenging but quite exhausting at times.

Being invited to 10 Downing Street as part of the top 100 small businesses in the UK in 2017 is definitely my highlight.

Launching a podcast (the Social Bee Podcast) and managing to put out a weekly podcast episode has also been one of my proudest moments

What piece of advice do you wish you had known when starting out?

You need to identify your idea client as soon as you can. You cannot market to everyone with the same message and that it is ok to pivot your business in a different direction so that you are making progress.

Why do you consider long-term strategic advice important to business success?

If you don't know where you are going, how are you going to get there?

If you had a superpower what would it be and why?

To get from my desk to the school gate for pickup in a flash. Maybe I need flying lessons or else just better time management!

Do you want to win more business or investment?
Do you feel your company isn&apos;t getting noticed?
Or do you have a potential issue that you don&apos;t want to damage your reputation?
Hi, I&apos;m Jane and I run a public relations consultancy called <a href=&apos;https://www.positive-story.com/&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>Positive Story</a>. I help companies in the engineering, infrastructure, technology and investment sectors to be seen, heard and to stand out from the competition.
I maximise business potential using targeted and focused PR campaigns. I also help companies to protect their reputation if there&apos;s an issue which could harm their business.
I&apos;ve helped dozens of companies, both large and small, to positively impact their bottom line - firms including Eurotunnel, Network Rail, RBS Group, BAE Systems and Bechtel.
After I ran a strategic PR campaign to promote one company&apos;s port construction and engineering expertise, its president received a call from a new client who had seen the media coverage and offered them a new contract on a port project in Louisiana.
I recently worked with a Dubai-based private equity company to promote their luxury residential development in Chelsea and help them win more investment. I achieved over 25 media articles around the world for that press release including coverage in their key media such as the <a href=&apos;https://www.standard.co.uk/business/chelsea-police-station-gulf-islamic-investments-john-gielgud-b979708.html&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>Evening Standard</a> and Property Week.
My current clients include a solar energy developer with projects in the UK, USA, Chile and Australia, which is pivoting its business to become an owner-operator and an engineering tech start-up, which has developed the biggest advance in water treatment technology for 50 years.
I&apos;m passionate about using PR, particularly media relations, to drive business success. I love doing what I do - and I know I can help your business.

Hey, I&apos;m Kiki! A FUN brand strategist ?? on a mission to build 1000 positive impact brands.
What’s a brand strategist? ???????
Someone who can get your brand from where it is to where it wants to be.
Essentially what I do is build brands by helping them to formulate a clear, actionable, strategic plan.
The FUN part? ??
My style and approach to brand strategy.
When you hear the word “Strategy” I doubt much excitement is injected into your veins.
Most people think “complex, analytical, logical, BORING”
Strategy is super powerful stuff So, I made a decision to make my approach and in particular, my workshops, FUN.
Fun opens up creativity, breaks down barriers and helps to create an open and relaxed environment.
But more importantly for your brand, incorporating FUN into brand strategy can also help to build stronger relationships between your team members and your clients.
I run interactive and engaging brand building workshops, for startups, small and medium sized businesses.
In these workshops we go through:
<ol>
<li>A thorough brand analysis, which includes a deep dive into your current problems and obstacles and brand objectives.</li>
<li>Your brand anatomy (the skeleton structure of your brand)</li>
<li>Your market and positioning &amp;</li>
<li>The all-important brand research</li>
</ol>
We use all of this to devise a clear actionable plan for your brand to achieve its objectives.
Lastly, why positive impact? ??
I’ve been in this industry for over 7 years now to know that brands are a powerful part of the future.
They control and influence a lot in today&apos;s world and have power to shape consumer behavior, influence societal norms and values, and impact the environment and communities.
With this power comes responsibility and so for me it’s a priority to ensure that I support every brand I work with to make that positive impact, bringing balanced, positive effects to society and the environment.
In summary, what I’m promising you is if we work together, we can:
A) help your brand reach its goals + be profitable
B) help make a positive impact to socially, environmentally and economically
C) Have a sh*t load of FUN (and stress at times, NGL) doing it.
If you need help with your brand, send me a message and we can grab a room.
To chat that is... ??
