Building the Tea and Toast community

This is the story of building the Tea and Toast community. A few years ago, we were having a conversation with Hannah, a marketing manager for a local organisation, and thought it would be nice to start the day off well by having a cuppa and meeting other interesting creatives in the local area.

The idea for Tea&Toast was planted. We were bored of business networking, referral groups and pressure to demonstrate how successful and accomplished you were. There was an appetite to meet, have a cuppa, an interesting and stimulating chat and leave saying, “Hope you have a great day!”, feeling positive for the day ahead.

Digital Community Leaders Report Launch

In September we delivered the launch event for the digital community leaders report 2023. We were delighted to partner with Steadfast Collective to produce the report for a second time, following the 2021 report.

The event, hosted at The RSA in London, featured two panels of experts talking through some of the key findings and themes in the report. If you\’re in or on the fringes of the growing group of digital community leaders, this is your chance to catch up on what happened.

Event planning and becoming an event planner

Event planning is something we have probably all had to do at some point in our lives. It is the process of organising and co-ordinating an event, usually with a number of people there (I’d say more than 5) which has a purpose of gathering people together. It can be a conference, seminar, launch, workshop, webinar, summit, awards ceremony, live podcast recording or even a board meeting. Event Planning is a core aspect to our business.
