Episode #01 - Find your business voice, with Giselle Frederick, Oliver Smith and Marie-Claire Frederick. Content marketing for founders, small businesses and entrepreneurs.
The podcast helping SME businesses to communicate with their audience and customers through times of crisis, brought to you by Lemon Quarters.
The Black Lives Matter protests across the globe earlier this year caused a moment of mass reflection. Everyone from footballers to FTSE100 bosses felt the need to speak up in support of equality. SMEs were no different. But sometimes it’s hard to know what to say and how to say it.
This podcast explores the theme of communication at a time of great challenge and change. It asks how and when it is right for SMEs to use their voice, how content can be a powerful tool and it will give SMEs the confidence to say the right thing when it matters most.
