Amplify Your Personality

How can you stand out, build trust, and move people to action in your team, organization, or with clients, when everyone is bombarded with generic messages and superficial branding? I discussed these points with Charlotte Davies, an award-winning copywriter, TEDx speaker, and event host whose journey spans PR, theatre, education, and business. Her career spans PR for popstars, teaching English in Spain and Italy, and business development at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre. Now she combines those skills to write engaging copy and content for growing businesses, which helps them stand out from the competition and turns strangers into customers. Charlotte also organises networking events including Netwalk and Talk, where you network, talk and walk, the Cellar Dining Experience, a glamorous evening of delicious food and drink, and sparkling conversation. And The Networkshop, a networking workshop where you put your skills into practice straightaway. Charlotte is a cancer survivor, beating Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2014.
