About Kraken Networking
Kraken Networking was born out of a feeling that, there was space for one more. Whilst running my digital agency, Blueocto, and looking to expand our reach in New Business Development, we felt that, despite attending a variety of events, that we wan’t to do something different.
Not just another networking event
As a small business owner, I needed to justify spending time and money, out of my business and know that it was worth it. We wanted the event to have tangible takeaways – whether that is a new connection, learning something new, being inspired and motivated or simply having much needed water-cooler time as a solo-preneur.
I felt there was opportunity to do things differently and after such a great first event and receiving a rang of feedback, we knew this was worth pursuing and so Kraken Networking was born.
Supporters
Having been fortunate to be supported early on by Natwest and the local enterprise team in the North East.
I’ve also been supported by digital marketing agency, Vida Creative. Spurred on by their enthusiasm for the business community and the want to do so much more, with the connections we have!
Now looking for a new Sponsor for 2024!
The dream
I’ve always been passionate about running a business and being involved in the local business community. I’ve enjoyed attending events and also hosting events which I do hope to continue going forward.
The dream for Kraken is to become the go-to digital space, for local business owners to connect, expand their knowledge, be inspired and essentially grow their business!
