Building your profile can be a challenge for time-poor business owners.

At Cicada, we’ve been helping event experts Joe Manby Limited get noticed by the right people since 2012.

Through an ongoing concerted media relations and social media campaign targeting organisers and exhibitors, we’ve secured regional news and national trade coverage to help raise awareness of the company’s raft of services to organisers and exhibitors at venues across the UK.

Most recently, we’ve supported Joe Manby Limited with its contract with Broker Network, the UK’s largest network of independent insurance brokers. Cicada generated traditional and online media coverage for a news release around the firm’s appointment, as well as drafting a case study post show highlighting the firm’s expertise and scheduling posts on the firm’s social media timeline.

The culmination of a busy year servicing events from Excel in London’s docklands to Edinburgh, saw Broker Network’s National Conference return to the Harrogate Convention Centre recently.

Keen to attract its biggest audience to date, Broker Network’s brief was to create a vibrant exhibition to reflect conference activity and encourage delegate footfall.

Joe Manby Limited met the brief by providing integrated event services, including floor plans, shell schemes, furniture and graphic cladding to the exhibition and its new feature areas – meeting zones, business zone and information point to welcome visitors.

A focus on providing compelling content – from workshops and guest speakers, to the conference and associated exhibition – saw more more than 700 delegates and 50 exhibitors attend the event.
