    6:00 PM - Norwich

    This latest Marketing Club event we will look at entrepreneurialism and marketing from a social ventures perspective. We will cover what is a social business, how does a founder ensure their initial vision is kept core to the business and why marketing is central to growing a social enterprise – who is the audience, what is the business trying to achieve and how can social marketing communications influence positive behaviour.

    This is the third in a new series of CIM/UEA Marketing Club events being held in Norwich. The aim is to give practicing marketers an opportunity to take some time-out, challenge thinking, learn new skills and share experiences with the next generation of marketing talent.
