Brighton SEO Christmas Hootenanny
Christmas is just a matter of week’s away and I’m sure it’s been a busy year… So why not end the year on a high and get yourself down to the SEO Christmas Hootenanny in Brighton!
If you’re an SEO and you’re based in Brighton, make sure you put the following date in your diary -
Friday 21st December from 7pm
I will be announing the venue within the next couple of weeks and will post all the details shortly.
So… who’s up for a night of search, santa and sambucas?


SEO Meetup in Brighton
A date, venue and sponsor has now been arranged. We’ll be drinking beer and talking search, right on the beach next to the burnt out West Pier!
A big thanks to Propellernet for sponsoring the event and enabling us to have a free bar for the first part of the evening. When the drinks kitty runs dry we will have to start paying for drinks, if there are any other potential sponsors out there who wouldn’t mind chucking a few more quid behind the bar, please get in touch.
For those who are traveling down to the seaside for the weekend, there are plenty of hotels along the seafront all within close proximity to Alfresco.
Put the following date in your diary and please let your availability be known, it would be great if we had some idea of numbers, I’ve had some great feedback from everyone and it should prove to be a popular event.
Sun, sea, search and beer!
When: Friday 3rd August 2007
Where: Alfresco Bar
Time: 8pm til late
See you all there!
Brighton SEO Event
I regularly attend the London SEO pissup. I recently expressed an interest in moving a future event down south and a bit more closer to home. Rob Kerry who organises the London Pissup has asked me if I would like to organise something in Brighton for the summer.
I know there are a lot of SEO agencies and consultants also based by the seaside so I wanted to start the ball rolling and see who might be interested in attending…
If you’re based in Brighton and you’re an SEO, let me know if you would be interested in attending a piss up in a local pub, preferably by the sea to talk all things search.
Brighton is the hub of UK Media
The Financial Times reported last week that Brighton is gaining a reputation as the hub for IT, creative and media industries.The main reasons it gave for this expanding creative cluster were:
- Trendy Reputation
- Younger population than the national average
- Well educated workforce
- University graduates not wanting to leave
- Fastest Growth of output goods and services
Brighton is beginning to get the recognition it deserves as a leading media City. It comes as no surprise to me, someone who was born in the City, that it is becoming more and more popular with young and creative media types. I hope Brighton will be able to sustain this growth in the future, the news of more high profile companies moving to Brighton would suggest that it will.
