We Fondly Call It SEO, You May Know It As Search Engine Optimisation, Whatever You Want To Call It We Are Great At It
Not long ago Wired Sussex were due to hold the ‘Make it into Media’ event, which was being held at the Corn Exchange, Brighton and Fresh Egg had been invited to attend. The event featured media firms from all over Sussex and although it wasn’t an actual jobs fair, it was a place where anybody who wanted a bit of advice about the industry could come and visit and maybe pick up a few contacts and future leads.
The HR manager Annie Marshall and I set up a stand at the event and about midway through the day I took to the stage to give a presentation on how I got into Search Engine Optimisation and to give my advice on the best paths into the industry.
Now we all know that the East Sussex town of Brighton is well known for it’s number of creative and media talent gurus. We were expecting a lot, but both myself and Annie were absolutely stunned by the enthusiasm and energy that all the attendees showed. Most of the attendees were graduates and students who were interested in breaking into the media business, however there was a scattering of older industry professionals, many of whom were just that little bit curious about ‘new media’, but others were looking to make the transition from print to digiral.
What really stood out for me was just how keen many of the job seekers were and how hard they all seemed to be working to either just get their foot in the door, or alternatively to establish themselves in a new media sphere. Almost instantly after the doors were opened, the Fresh Egg stand was swamped by people wanting to learn not only more about our company, but also about Web Design, SEO, digital development and our fantastic new hatchling CallTrackID The interest didn’t let up all morning and it was a very constructive day, not only for Fresh Egg, but for everyone else involved in the whole event.
