This week I’ve been doing my bit for local, national and even international communities by speaking about and demonstrating the Melbourne skills….
On Tuesday I met with Tatsiana Ramanovich, a Master’s student at Manchester Business School, studying the Corporate Communications and Reputation Management course. We shared our experiences in launching social media strategies and maintaining related activities, interesting findings and challenges which we face in social media communications. Tatsiana very generously brought cake to the Melbourne office!
On Wednesday I was invited by the CEO of Manchester Science Park to speak to Dean Bing-Huei Lin, Professor Ming-Huei Chen and 5 other visitors from the College of Social Sciences and Management of National Chung Hsing University of Taiwan. NCHU is based in the City of Taichung, the third largest city in Taiwan.
The delegation made the visit to Manchester to learn about successful companies at Manchester Science Park and to listen to the Melbourne introduction and business model.
On Thursday, Steven and I gave a Melbourne introduction to 10 visitors from Young Rewired State which is a collection group of young people using government data to create apps. We gave them a guided tour of the Datacentres to show them why our customers put their trust in us to keep them online 24×7. The guys showed their appreciation by parading around Piccadilly gardens sporting our new stickers (see below)!
After this I went along to the Northern Digital BLAB event at MadLab in the Northern Quarter, Melbourne was kindly asked to sponsor the event by providing drinks. The night was a fantastic success with 100 people attending and we were treated to talks from Brendan Dawes, Creative Director of Manchester’s Magnetic North and Technical Director of Brighton’s Plug-in Media Seb Lee-Delisle speak about their work, their ideas and their views.
