5 #WCDUB sessions you shouldn’t miss if… you need to grow your business

The full WordCamp Dublin schedule is up – so we came up with a series of blog posts to help you choose the best sessions according to your current needs 🙂

This time, it’s all about branding, raising awareness and standing out from the crowd.

We said from the very beginning that we wanted bloggers, designers, developers, authors, marketers, SEOs, businesses, non-profits, photographers, consultants, entrepreneurs – as well as everyone who loves and uses WordPress – to attend and participate in the event.

So, here are 4 talks you should be attending if you’re willing to grow!

1. From Zero to Hero

Mark Scully, founder of Dublin’s Learn Inbound, has built a very successful brand in just a few months. He was able to bring to Dublin the world’s top marketers without being well known and grow his company from zero to hero.

Whether you’re a marketing professional or business owner, you understand the importance and value of engaging directly with your audience. You want to foster new relationships, nurture existing ones, listen/respond to feedback, and build trust and rapport with each action you take as a company.

This is on Saturday 14 October at 10:15 am. Room will be packed.

2. We Rocked The Royal Albert Hall

Úna used WordPress to create a site with video tutorials and other resources, which was a huge factor in her harp students’ successful performance in the Royal Albert Hall!

Úna is one of Ireland’s top harpists. This year she won Ireland’s most prestigious Irish traditional music competition, the Bonn Óir.

This session kicks off on Saturday 14 October at 11:30 am.

3. Using content to a grow a business

You can’t miss Intercom’s content marketing case study from their own Geoffrey Keating… and how they grew from 1 to 17,000 customers thanks to it. Here’s your way to increase your brand awareness – no doubt!

This is on Saturday 14 October at 12:30 pm.

4. Building Partnerships, not Projects – with WordPress

This will be a discussion, co-presented by Sage (the client) and Pragmatic (the agency), which will provide a 360 view of a large WordPress project, covering both the technical and non-technical aspects.

We’ll look at how we focused on building a partnership – creating trust and efficiency which benefited both sides. This session goes live at 2:15 pm on Saturday 14 October.

5. How social media is helping destigmatise mental health in Ireland

Eoin will focus on social media campaigns run by businesses & charities, the increase in mental health blogging by young people, the open sharing of emotions and discussions on mental health issues, and how all of this is actively helping individuals across the country.

Social media is a must for growing a brand, don’t you agree? Eoin is scheduled for Sunday 15 October at 12:50 pm.
