Alain will talk about how he has co-founded and sold two different technology businesses, both of which were built, predominantly working from home. Balancing family life with two young children and an ambition to change the way that acquisition marketing work, Alain will talk about his experiences, successes and failures, as an entrepreneur.

Daniel J. Moore, Creative Director, Iron Dragon Design

“Leveraging your Archetype – What is brand character and how does it attract your audience?”

Daniel is here to dig deep into the heart of what your brand represents and means to your clients. Your brand is more than just its visuals – it’s the beating core of everything you do. Understanding and using it is vital to the health of your business, yet most business owners don’t have the first clue how. I’ll help you discover the secrets of your brand and how to build an identity that doesn’t just attract your ideal client, but communicate with them on a primal level.
