Thanks to everyone who attended our Reputation Management seminar last week! The feedback from the event was very positive, and I have been inundated with requests for the presentations from the seminar. All of the presentations will be published shortly, but for the time being, here is Jon Keefe’s (KMP) presentation on the topic of “Are you ready to manage your reputation?”:

Yesterday we hosted a seminar on the topic of Reputation Management at the MDDA in Manchester.  The speakers for the event were KMP’s Jon Keefe, Rob Brown from Staniforth and Simon Rogers from Market Sentinel.

KMP’s long awaited Reputation Management seminar will be taking place this Thursday at the MDDA in Manchester. The speakers for this event include KMP’s own – Jon Keefe, Rob Brown from Staniforth and Simon Rogers from Market Sentinel. It promises to be a great event, with Jon Keefe finding out how “social media ready” your organistion really is, Rob Brown discussing the PR Challenges of the Social Web, and Simon Rogers showing us how to manage your reputation and measure the ROI. There are still a few tickets remaining if you would like to book.

There’s just 6 weeks to go now until KMP’s seminar on the topic of Reputation Management takes place in Manchester on the 7th May! But, if you can’t wait until then, don’t worry! In the weeks running up to the seminar, I am going to be profiling the speakers and giving you a sneak preview of what you can expect from each of their presentations. As well as this, I’m going to let you in on a bit of background information about each of the speakers so that you can get to know them a bit before the seminar! First up this week, we have KMP’s very own Managing Director – Jon Keefe! Jon was one of the original founders of KMP in 1991, and has embraced internet technologies since 1995, helping organisations to understand how they can benefit from digital innovation. Jon has steered KMP from its inception in 1991 at the end of the last UK recession, through the Dot com crash to the steady growth and profitability it returns today. This experience overlaid on 13 years digital expertise in the public and private sector means Jon brings extensive knowledge and insight to any organisation and their digital strategy. Jon has also been a long time supporter of Manchester Digital, the trade association for ICT and New Media in the Northwest and an advisor to The Big Chip awards since they were first held in 1997. Jon will be presenting the keynote presentation, entitled “Are you ready to manage your reputation?” Jon will be finding out just how “social media ready” your company is, where he will be discussing the resources and skills available in your company vs what is required.

KMP’s next seminar will be on the topic of Reputation Management, and takes place on the 26th March at the MDDA in Manchester. This is a new topic for inblackandwhite.tv, but it’s already shaping up to look a very interesting and exciting area which combines Digital Strategy, Brand Monitoring, Blogging, Social Media and PR. Speakers for this include KMP’s MD – Jon Keefe, Simon Rogers from Market Sentinel, and Rob Brown – MD of Staniforth. Tickets are available at the early-bird discount of £95 + VAT. Book Now!
