AYP Quiz Night - November 2021
|
A great evening and we were delighted to finally get our members together again for a face to face event after the pandemic. The quiz also raised essential funds for Mental Health Aberdeen.
Huge thanks to MHAs Astrid Whyte for talking to us about how we can support ourselves and others with our wellbeing. A massive thanks to the team at OGV Taproom for hosting us and for the incredible beers and service on offer! If we can take away anything from Astrid last night , it is to act quickly, ask for help and don't put it off if you are struggling. Speak up. A great quiz with a two team race to the finish, seeing a winner with one point in it! |

AYP Social Media Workshop
June 2019
Do you want to know how to get more visibility online?
Would it help you to know Social Media better if you could understand the mechanics behind it?
If you answer yes to one or both of these questions then the AYP Social Media Workshop was a must for you!
Stacy Edghill from Hibiscus Media + Events and Mike Al Alawi from EV Offshore Ltd showed our members how to use LinkedIn to increase your own personal brand and gain more business. She has a unique perspective in that her teachings are designed for the user, rather than the business.
During the workshop, Stacy and Mike provided some insight into how you can achieve results for your business through your personal page on LinkedIn.
