Panelist at BCOC Live 26!

September 16, 2026 / Rich Holmes /

First time on the other side of the microphone!

I've done my fair share of networking events and expo stalls, but BCOC Live! 26 on 15th October is the first time I'll be sat on a panel instead of stood behind a stall. Slightly terrifying, mostly exciting.

πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ The session is "Could your marketing work harder?" at 1:30pm, and we'll be digging into how local businesses can actually make print, video and digital marketing work together instead of just… existing separately and hoping for the best.

You'll walk away knowing:

  • How to get more out of the marketing you're already doing (before spending another penny on new stuff)
  • Which channels actually talk to each other, and which ones are just shouting into the void
  • How to turn "people have heard of us" into "people are buying from us"

Don't worry, I'll still be doing my usual stall duties too β€” Ampersand Studio will have a table there for the rest of the day, mints included (yes, the ones that look like a battery. We've made peace with it).

πŸ”œ To find Ampersand Studio in Banbury we'll be at Wroxton House Hotel, 10am, Thursday 15th October β€” and it's completely FREE, buffet lunch and all. If you're a business owner in and around Banbury, there's really no excuse.

See you there β€” come say hi at the stand, or heckle me from the audience at 1:30. Either works.
