The Mum and Working Academy 2016
The team at Mum and Working have been running successful awards for a number of years, and build14me have been involved as sponsors for two years. The awards recognise ‘amazing individuals, inspiring employers & the many advantages of flexible, family-friendly employment’
This year (2016) for the first time they ran the Mum and Working Academy before the awards event. The academy was an opportunity for business owners, managers and franchisees to ‘join a wealth of like- minded business parents and supporters keen to grow their business, stay ones step ahead, make the right connections and harness the tools and contacts to succeed’.
NatWest hosted the event in central London and over 200 businesses and business supporters attended the academy.
The Presentation
Build14me presented our 42 DIY SEO tips for small businesses but we did it in a record 25 minutes. We usually run the workshop over 2 hours so have the chance to show people how to make the changes we are recommending, show examples of how the changes actually benefit their business and talk about how to put right wrongs. In 25 minutes we were able to give lots of ideas, lots of advice and hopefully gave everyone in the room some really valuable takeaways.

What they said...
On the www.mumpreneurinspiration.co.uk website, as well as giving an excellent overview of the day – they said …
‘There was an excellent session called 42 great SEO tips for small businesses, they focused on how good the search engine optimisation was really about helping users find what they want rather than tricking Google. My key takeaway from this was to think about what people might be googling and use those phrases to make my posts easier to find.’ (sic)
And the organisers of the Mum and Working Academy said:
"We loved your presentation - content was fabulous and the '2-person' delivery was a nice change - I liked the exchanges - I think your co-presenter was suffering… but that didn't detract from the 'nuggety content'".
