We Call It SEO, You May Know It As Search Engine Optimisation, Whatever You Call It We LOVE It

A short while ago, Fresh Egg were asked to attend the ‘Make it into Media’ event which was taking place at the amazing Corn Exchange venue in Brighton, East Sussex and had been organised by Wired Sussex. The event featured media companies from all over Sussex and was a sort of jobs fair, where anyone could come to get advice about making it into the industry, and even pick up a few leads and contacts.

The HR manager Annie Marshall and I set up a stand at the event and about midway through the day I took to the stage to give a presentation on how I got into Search Engine Optimisation and to give my advice on the best paths into the industry.

The East Sussex town of Brighton is very well known for it’s large number of creative and media talent gurus. We were expecting a lot, but both myself and Annie were absolutely stunned by the enthusiasm and energy that all the attendees showed. Most of the attendees were graduates and students who were interested in breaking into the media business, however there was a scattering of older industry professionals, many of whom were just that little bit curious about ‘new media’, but others were looking to make the transition from print to digiral.

What really stood out for me was just how keen many of the job seekers were and how hard they all seemed to be working to either just get their foot in the door, or alternatively to establish themselves in a new media sphere. Almost instantly after the doors were opened, the Fresh Egg stand was swamped by people wanting to learn not only more about our company, but also about Web Design, SEO, digital development and our fantastic new hatchling CallTrackID The interest didn’t let up all morning and it was a very constructive day, not only for Fresh Egg, but for everyone else involved in the whole event.
