Hannah Thorpe
Hannah Thorpe has spoken at The Marketing Meetup thee times β having already inspired audiences in London and Norwich, although she is also a seasoned speaker having also helped audiences at BrightonSEO and many others.
There were a couple of things I admired about Hannah when seeing her speak. The first is her absolute expertise β when youβre in her company you canβt help but think: youβre an expert in something I donβt know anything about yet! The second, however, is her willingness to share this and try to bring others to her level: exactly the type of people we want speaking to the TMM audience. We should also make sure to say at this stage that Hannah has been a great advocate for TMM since her speaking at the events β so a big thank you!
