handover meeting

[Bora Bicakci]

Dear Pauline

As we both know that funding for the Cool Campaign may continue, the nature of the business of SE5 CIC is potentially turning out into a coordinator of Camberwell Events. 

Here; you are the right professional to protect its intellectual property links with them, future income and activity. 

This way the company will fit into the picture in either case of the businesses take ownership or not and it stays as the trading arm of SE5 Forum.

I would like to come today or tomorrow daytime or Saturday evening to discuss with you and Barbara the handover process of SE5 Business Network moderation.

When are you best available ?

Hi Bora

Sorry I'm not available today or tomorrow. I can do Saturday evening if needs be.

I still feel in the early stages of trying to get to grips with how the Cool Campaign and the SE5 CIC will operate. My view is that we do not yet have a structure in place for SE5 CIC to function. I think the key is getting other businesses signed-up and committed. The retailers and food and drink businesses in particular in camberwell need to be involved or it won't be viable and as retail outlets they stand the chance of benefitting most from any marketing and promotional initiatives. Currently there are two of us who have signed up as directors and this is not representative, correct or viable in terms of how it should operate. We need more directors, a board and regular scheduled meetings. There will have to be a bank account, financial management and reporting etc.

I must admit while intellectual property is my business I hadn't seen myself as an events co-ordinator for the Cool Campaign. 

I think I need a bit more clarity and background on how all the pieces fit together in order to decide what I'm willing and able to take on. I do have limited availability, particularly at weekends as I have another work commitment, so attending events on a Saturdays in the daytime is a problem.

I hope that this does not com across as negative (it's not intended to). I appreciate also that you have much more of a finger on the pulse and know what's what.

Best regards

Pauline

Dear Pauline;

You (all of us) could actually consider the SE5-CIC as a client: 

This client has generated a branding campaign across different activities / Arts - Music - Food - Cinema Festivals in Camberwell

and had arranged `co-branding framework` with them. (attached branding guidelines) Some were successfully applied - ie Food and Film - some were not ie. Palace of Varieties and some are on the way - ie Made in Camberwell... - arts festival etc..) All these events are run/managed/delivered by their own teams. The CIC is not involved in the event management. 

Our only aim/role is to generate sponsorship funding as a central co-ordination point because the events are not (most of the time) big enough by them selves to attract corporate funding. Our function will be to keep their forces / volume / audience `merged` (as we did this year) and  run an overlooking announcement campaign via social media and on-line on www.camberwellcalendar.co.uk and www.camberwellguide.co.uk. (those pages will be run by other sub-contractors) and make sure that they `satisfy` the funders branding needs (ie displaying the sponsor logos properly). Through the co-ordination of the SE5-CIC (Cool Campaign) individual events in Camberwell will stay connected and provide a year around visibility to the sponsors (ie Southwark Council at the moment - may be Barclays or Cashbackcard next year ? - maybe both of them) and all will be about having their branding on the individual events. - last years draft presentation attached. and you know about the intentions of local authorities - quiet supportive. And a local BID is also in the near futures possibilities... 

An additional income of CIC besides an incentive of the generated income to cover overhead costs can be taking an incentive from the revenue/profit of the events as a `licencing fee` as well but this is a detail the board shall decide at each case. (I have submitted a list of the potential board members to Barbara - there are people with their ready skills and motivations - which just needs alignment - I could not succeed. ) 

You, as the Brandguardians are asked to `protect` the branding rights of the campaigners and the sponsors and draw the framework of how the money will be split between parties. A representation of Camberwell businesses will probably not happen in the following 2-3 years. So till than - the Camberwell Business Network will remain as an on-line e-group moderated by their members. 

For futher details I will be in Camberwell this Saturday by 6 pm at any point you would like to meet. 

Barbara, Adam - would you be also available ? And shall we call someone else ?

Best Regards

Bora
