"Shameless Self Promotion Member Happy Hour"

Introducing…. The “Shameless Self Promotion Member Happy Hour”

Friday’s MHH was a great success—thanks to all the members that came & participated, and to Sol and 12seconds for the Santa Cruz Mountain Brewery beer!

Lets face it—NextSpace members are busy people. You see, they’re kind of a big deal. Being up on the latest with fellow members and in the know of projects and opportunities at NextSpace is sometimes hard to work into our schedules.

That’s why last Friday we dedicated our MHH to doing just that! Members took turns letting us all know what projects they just launched, would like to work on, or would like to partner up on. Here are a few who pitched…

Cari Class, designer and founder of Design Source Creative Inc. says, “I specialize in branding, print, packaging and web design. I help businesses define who they are and what they do, then articulate that graphically into a brand that tells their story in a powerful way. I translate that branding consistently to all of their marketing materials, print, signage, product packaging and web.

I would love the opportunity to collaborate with other professionals; designers, developers, writers and photographers to win larger accounts.

I’m always looking for web developers to collaborate on projects with, from smaller WordPress sites to large scale eCommerce sites. I do the front end design, site architecture and manage the project, but need rock-solid back end development support.

I’m a fixture around NS and love being here. I invite you to pop your head into my office, Suite 216 (across the Café from the kitchen) anytime to chat.”

Matt Steele announced the launch of my new company, BridgeWorx. www.bridgeworx.biz.  Matt says, “I help small businesses improve their customer and vendor relations. I work primarily virtually, returning voicemail, answering Email along with a variety of other services that help small business owners bridge the gap between what they want to accomplish and what they can accomplish. This allows them to focus on the core of their business without missing opportunities or losing existing customers.”

Jessica Johnson of Johnson Education Solutions (www.jestoday.com) says, “I typically work with busy professionals who know how to make money but need to understand better ways to make their money work for them.  I provide financial education plus systems and plans, that can be implemented at a manageable pace, allowing people to actually enjoy the lifestyles they are working so hard for.  While some clients prefer high-end one-on-one consulting, others appreciate the group workshop environment, both of which offer ongoing online support.  I also offer a 2-day Camp Millionaire program so that kids can learn about money before they get into trouble with it.

I am looking to hire dynamic instructors familiar with accelerated learning techniques and sales professionals who can bring in large corporate clients on a commission only basis.  I could really benefit from introductions and client referrals. I am also actively seeking a business partner and strategic partnerships.

With my background in the Secret Service, I also work with companies or individuals planning large scale events that require a comprehensive security plan or security plan review.  I ensure that the environment is conducive to having a successful and safe event.  

I am looking for introductions and referrals to people/companies looking to hire a security consultant on a project basis.”

In fact, this MHH was so successful that we have decided to make this a monthly MHH theme…pretty sweet right?! Stay tuned for the next “Shameless Self Promotion Member Happy Hour!”
