uk-netmarketing Archive (2011-2015)

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the offer, much appreciated. Any tips would be v. welcome. This
is a bit of a special case, but most of the agencies seem to be focused on
new biz development for agencies, with a saying that they can do event
sponsorship. We shall see.

For anyone interested, here's a list of the folks that we found:

http://www.ingenuityabm.com/
http://www.intelligentnewbusiness.com/
http://teeming.co.uk/
http://www.alchemis.co.uk/

Any others welcomed, too. Will share experiences if I'm able to (client
confidentiality, etc.)
