Join us for an evening of guided networking and a workshop with Hayley Fell on finding your audience and where to focus your marketing.

The Nuture Network is a series of events co-created by local female founder, Leah Halliday and community organisation Midsteeple Quarter. We hope to create a warm, welcoming space for women in business across Dumfries & Galloway to build community and connection. Whether you're just starting out or years into your journey, we would love you to join us.

This month we'll be joined by Hayley Fell, co-founder of Fell & Co. for a practical workshop where you will think about who is your audience and where are they?

It's tempting to try to be everywhere, all at once. But you don't have unlimited resources. This session is about getting clear on who you're really trying to reach, and how they actually search for and find businesses like yours, across Google, social media and beyond, so you can show up in the places that matter most.

Before launching Fell & Co., Hayley worked in senior digital marketing roles, helping businesses of all sizes attract the right customers and grow online.
