Client Testimonials

” I want to personally thank you for the invaluable support you’ve consistently provided – it has made all the difference.We knew it would be challenging to launch such a meeting on complex legal issues, with a reduced lead time and on a referendum day. You made sure it was possible to, and did, deliver. Your work has just been outstanding.”

Be You Talks

I created my own event series (2013-2016), named Be You Talks to raise awareness of key issues affecting women and girls. Two sell-out events received wide press coverage across national UK papers and across key trade magazines.

 

Be You Talks Events – Our Story

Be You Talks Events was initially set up in 2013. We launched a consumer event ‘Why Size Doesn’t Matter’ a fun night addressing ways to tackle low body confidence . The sold out event was covered in The Guardian and Observer and led us to later address the wider issue of gender representation in the media.

‘The Body Confidence Event’ took place in London on 30 November 2016, this time gathering high profile politicians, business leaders and campaigners to address the lack of diverse imagery in advertising and in the media.

Be You Talks Events have been covered in the press by national newspapers and key trade press.

“I have to say that was one of the most professionally organised and informative events I have been to on the subject. Great panel speakers – well done. You should feel very proud and rightly so. Delighted to be involved.”

Be You Talks, formerly known as Be Real Talks, launched its inaugural sell-out consumer event at the London College of Fashion in 2013.  An original line up of entertainers, comedians, stylists, artists and psychologists inspired the audience to feel empowered and make positive change in their lives.  The event was a cross between a theatre experience, comedy club with a funky workshop element.  A one off original night of fun and thought provoking talks.

Rave reviews from event attendees and the press followed the event, including The Guardian and Observer & Huffington Post.
