Fold events

The Fold hosted Jade Snelson an ADHD Advocate, who shared invaluable insights on ADHD in the workplace. From identifying key ADHD traits to understanding how they manifest in individuals, Jade provided some great tips for managing ADHD and unlocking its unique strengths.

Our June Creative Community Mixer saw Mark Teece from Cogent, showcase real examples from brands and businesses who have successfully built, engaged and activated community online through social media.

Alongside this we ran our first ‘Creative Community Mix-up’. Guests were given a fictional thought-provoking Marketing brief and given 30 minutes to craft their ideas. Congratulations to the winners!

Claire Ferreira - Founder of Mums in Marketing headlined our May Marketeer event on 23rd May. Claire talked about how building communities can change your marketing forever.

On 26th April alongside Yas Shilton, we hosted a Pecha Kucha event at The Fold. It means 'chit-chat' in Japanese and is a unique presentation style used for storytelling, whereby presenters have 20 slides, each graced with a brief 20-second narration.

Great to see so many people at The Fold share ideas and connect with others visually, concisely and memorably.

Thanks to Abigail Dixon FCIM/ICF who shared how to have a successful and fulfilling marketing career

And a big thank you to our panellists Tony Munro, Alison Aldridge and Nigel Thorley for discussing some of the key challenges marketers face today

The event saw Beyond the Book's Emma Head speak about standing out on LinkedIn whilst Cogent's Carl Ebanks and Junction Eleven's David Goode discussed how AI can help enhance creativity and productivity.

Great to see so many join us at The Fold, in the heart of Leamington’s Creative Quarter 

We're thrilled to have been part of BBC Bring the Drama festival at The Fold alongside SAE Institute UK!

From sessions with Motionhouse to lighting workshops, we've been igniting passions for the stage and screen.

We heard all about generative AI and how to use it from Cogent's CEO, Ian Gathard and Digital Director, Carl Ebanks along with an empowering talk from Jo Bird on personal branding and how to mascot yourself.

Thank you to all that came, it was a packed event and we hope you went away feeling very inspired.

And to those we couldn't fit in, don't worry! There will be more to come 

We were lucky enough to have the wonderful Gwyn March from the IPA (Institute of Practitioners in Advertising) share how the little things you do can help you (and others) become more resilient in life.

Lights, camera, action!
