it’s Time to take centre stage!
For small business owners, personal branding is not just a buzzword anymore. It’s a necessity. Differentiating yourself is a need more than a want.
You may ask why should I invest in personal branding? Well, did you know that only 33% of customers trust messages from a company? Whereas almost 90% of customers value recommendations from someone they know, Like and Trust. 89% of B2B marketers will tell you that they believe that brand awareness should be the most important goal. Networking is all about YOU being seen as the face of your brand, whether as a business own or an employee, therefore enhancing your brand value and trust factor.

Is networking part of your marketing strategy?
Marketing strategies often focus on digital reach and brand awareness, but there’s one tool that remains just as powerful— networking.
Lisa-Jane Grey, marketing consultant and owner of The Rumour Mill Creative, has seen firsthand how in-person connections can unlock new opportunities, build trust
and create lasting business relationships.
As the host of Warwick Buzz, she understands the power of showing up, engaging, and making yourself known in the right circles
While digital marketing plays a huge role in business growth, nothing beats the power of real conversations and personal connections. Networking is about building relationships, being remembered, and positioning yourself as the go-to expert in your industry.
The key? Consistency. Simply attending events isn’t enough—you need to be intentional about who you’re meeting, how you’re engaging, and what value you’re bringing to the table. It’s about more than just swapping business cards; it’s about showing up regularly, being part of the conversation, and ensuring your network works for you.
The true power of networking lies not in who you know, but in who knows you —and remembers you when it counts.
