It was an absolute joy for the Creative Clique team to venture out of the studio and gather together with ‘real’ people on 24th March. Our outing was to The Village Hotel, North Harbour where we exhibited at the Portsmouth Business Expo 2022. With over 300 exhibitors and visitors, this half day B2BEXPOS event was an opportunity for us to get inspired, network and connect with other business professionals at Portsmouth’s largest business show.
It was great to see so many familiar faces and colleagues and to meet new prospective partners and customers from other local small businesses and organisations. Our stand was incredibly popular, many attendees who stopped by were impressed with and wanted to know more about our featured 60 second digital explainer animation. Our personalised chocolate Cadbury Club bar giveaways, promoting the membership benefits of joining our Clique Club, were literally flying off our stand! We had loads of enquiries from a wide range of companies, from demolition experts to printers, solicitors to recruiters – each one with their own specific design, web or marketing requirement and we look forward to working with many of these new contacts soon.
As the last visitor departed, our team (despite our hoarse voices and tired feet!) unanimously agreed that this was a very enjoyable and beneficial event. With the financial and operational challenges that the Hampshire business community has inevitably been through over the last couple of years, it was lovely to see and talk to so many organisations who have managed to brave the pandemic storm and are thriving in 2022.
