Post by The Slice Network

Big communities aren't built in conference halls. They're built one conversation at a time. One of the things we've loved seeing recently is more and more Mini Slices popping up across the UK. This week it was Manchester. No stage No keynote No sponsors Just four experienced marketing leaders getting together after work to share ideas, experiences and opportunities over a drink. A huge thank you to Claire Kelly, one of our fantastic Fractional Marketing Leader members, for bringing everyone together. Here is who was round the table : Claire Kelly - fractional CMO & Brand Director with 30 years' experience growing FMCG, petcare and sportswear brands Anjna Mistry - Strategic brand leader with extensive experience across iconic and challenger FMCG and retail brands Charlotte Hill – fractional and Interim Marketing Leader specialising in brand, positioning and audience insight across B2B, technology, education, membership, public sector and purpose-led environment Ian Probert – go-to-market and commercial growth consultant, Marketing Director, Board Advisor and CIM Mentor, working across the energy sector spanning liquid fuels, energy procurement, and decarbonisation solutions Thanks also to Stuart Bradshaw for his generous support. What struck us wasn't just the meet-up itself. It was what it represented Four amazing senior marketing leaders Decades of experience. Expertise spanning a wealth of different sectors. That's the strength of The Slice, of our community. A community built around experienced practitioners with diverse sector expertise, united by a willingness to collaborate and help one another succeed. So, if you're a business in the North of England looking for experienced marketing leadership, why not start with these four? I have a feeling this won't be the last Mini Slice we see in Manchester.
