Modern Marketing...

Emma Easton

Marketing has changed. The old playbooks of pushy sales tactics and one-size-fits-all campaigns no longer cut through. In this workshop, you’ll discover what modern marketing really means: building trust, telling authentic stories and creating experiences that attract the right audience.

We’ll explore how to use data without losing the human touch, how to make content that connects, and how to align your marketing with the way people actually buy today. You’ll leave with practical insights to future-proof your marketing and strategies you can apply straight away.

How to build a brand...

Tommy Atkins

A brand is more than a logo or a colour palette. It is the perception people hold when they think of your business.

In this workshop, you’ll learn the foundations of building a brand that stands out and stands for something. From defining your purpose and values to shaping your voice and visual identity, we’ll explore how to create a brand that connects with the right audience.

You’ll also discover how to keep your brand consistent across every touchpoint so it builds trust, loyalty and long-term growth. Walk away with the clarity and tools to start building a brand that truly lasts.

Voice Confidence...

Kaffy Rice-Oxley

Your voice is your calling card. How you communicate shapes how people see you, trust you, and respond to your message. In this interactive workshop, voice coach Kaffy Rice-Oxley will help business owners harness the power of their voice to come across with confidence, clarity and presence.

Drawing on her experience as both a performer and a coach, Kaffy will share practical techniques to control nerves, project authority and speak in a way that holds attention.

Focusing on your 10s networking introduction, you'll learn how to speak to connect, while feeling calm, clear-headed and confident - instantly building that 'know-like-trust' factor

Marketing with a hint of AI...

Chris Allbones

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way businesses connect with their audiences, but the key is knowing how to use it wisely.

In this workshop, you’ll discover how to blend human creativity with AI tools to make your marketing smarter, faster and more effective. We’ll explore practical ways to use AI for content ideas, customer insights and campaign optimisation, without losing the authenticity that makes your brand stand out.

Expect real examples, simple tools you can start using today, and a clear understanding of how AI can support - not replace - your marketing.

Human Alchemy...

Katie Raithby-Veall

Lead Like a Brand: Choose your Cards in Hand...

This workshop is designed to help attendees:

Consider their leadership identity as it stands right now, but also how they want to be seen as a leader by the end of the year

Reflect on their personal core values (not those of their organisation). What matters most to them, what are their non-negotiables?

Identify signature behaviours of the identity and values they're after, and how they can incorporate these in practical terms immediately.

Assess the signal strength for their desired leadership identity, and hone in on the weakest ones.

Decide ways to boost audience impact and what one bold move they'll make a priority.

This isn't a 'sit down and listen' workshop - it's an invitation to get up, get creative and take intentional steps to assess and evolve their personal leadership brand.

There will be plenty of discussion, connection and physical, oversized playing cards for attendees to collect, personalise and take away so they have a tangible reminder of what they're going to work on. Talking, writing, doodling...they will all be vehicles for us to set a fire under delegates to Lead Like a Brand.

The Hidden Power of Connection Before Conversion...

Laurey Buckland

Storytelling is the most powerful skill any leader can learn. The people who truly move us, the mentors, teachers, and visionaries we never forget, can tell a story that makes us feel something.

In this workshop, Laurey Buckland reveals how story builds trust before strategy and connection before conversion. You’ll discover the timeless art of rhetoric and learn how empathy, emotion, and meaning make your message persuasive and memorable - which ultimately leads to sales.

Expect to leave with practical tools to uncover the stories you need to share, so your words don’t just inform…they inspire action too.

At IGNITE!, we’re cutting the fluff and bringing together founders, business professionals, and decision-makers who actually want to be there for a day of action, ideas and growth.
