Ever fancied getting more out of blogging, twitter, and other social media platforms or sharing some of your success with those less clued up?

At The Culture Vulture we are passionate about hearing about the stuff that delights people about the places they live in and the stuff they do, it’s what our readers enjoy too. We’ve noticed though that there aren’t scores of people currently at it, and it made us wonder why...

We also recognise that for some this social stuff is as natural as breathing, for other's it's a leap into the unknown

So we've decided to host a series of informal, informative 'conversation's at our base at Templeworks, bringing together a host of people who know techie stuff, engagement, story telling, getting on search engines, playful games etc alongside those with a thirst to learn more?

Which are you? Get in contact if you have the want to either learn more practical hands on stuff, or if you feel you could share some of your hard learnt know how. Enthusiasm counts for more than being an expert, this is a conversation after all!

Our first cultural conversation has a few people already raring to share!

Richard Michie who has offered to share his understanding of Search Engine Optimisation, social marketing, Google Analytics, branding and finding your niche and sticking to it.

Phil Kirby loves to spin a yarn and wants to enthuse you would be writers about sharing the stuff you are passionate about (if you are snarky don’t bother!)

Emma Bearman is a nosy old boot, a lover of Twitter and social media, heaps of do’s and don’ts

Monica Tailor & Matt Seward are passionate about all things Internet and have spent the past 15 years helping clients get the most from what the Internet offers. When they're not working with it, they're playing, writing or talking about it. Day to day they design, build and market businesses and ideas on the Internet.
