Monkey Business: Marketing for Social Enterprises - 22nd February, 10am - 12.30pm
Venue: The Cellar Project, Shipley

Successful marketing is all about building relationships. That's something that social enterprises tend to be good at - and it's what we explore in our Monkey Business workshop. We take inspiration from the ways bands like Yorkshire's own Arctic Monkeys have built relationships with their customers, in order to explore how you can do the same.
