Another year, another content strategy supper club.
Only this one is a bit special, as it's also a bon voyage party for one of the original members of our little group: Kate Thomas.
Later this year, Kate will be moving back to her beautiful Australian homeland. If you know Kate, you'll know what a great loss this is to our CS community here in London. While I'm sad to see her go, I'm also thrilled for her as I know how much she relishes a new challenge!
So, to send Kate and her partner Tania off in style, I've organised a soiree at this lovely new restaurant, Bronte. It's named after Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, Duke of Bronte, whose naval career took him to Australia, and its menu features Antipodean and Pacific influences that even a koala would love.
If you're interested in attending, please book a ticket via the Eventbrite page.
I've attached the menus - I've also asked if we can add another dish instead of the longhorn steak - unless anyone would be planning to order that! The restaurant is happy to accommodate any special dietary requirements.
Also, the restaurant has kindly waived the booking fee for us, but I will need people to commit to attending by 25th August so I can confirm numbers for dining.
I hope you will join us on 1 Sept - let's get Kate ready for her domination of the content strategy world down under!

Thanks for organising this Lisa & bon voyage Kate!It was a great evening, and as a UXer, I enjoyed the advice I got from multiple people on how to try and sell in more CS to our clients: basically appealing to their sense of ROI from content that otherwise cost them money while rotting away! (Common sense really but good to be reminded!).We also talked about how Marketers are trying to dominate the CS terminology, while clients interpret CS just as copywriting. For example, one of our clients (IMeche) asked us to help them get the word out in the CS network for a new job role in London. But it seems to be for a Content Marketing Manager (http://www.imeche.org/about-us/work-for-us/content-marketing-manager).Do you get that a lot? Is it appropriate to post it here (Lisa?) because it's celebrating clients' small steps in the right direction or is it only reinforcing the misconception that this group would be interested in these type of roles?Thanks!Stavros
