PUBLIC RELATIONS AND COPYWRITING From the minute that someone answers the phone on behalf ...of your company you have entered the realm of public relations. A polite well handled call where the telephone answerer... is helpful and knowledgeable can make or break a business decision. Public relations professionals focus on the public perception of your company and ensure that the right people hear about you in the right way. The result will be a higher profile and, ultimately, more business. Media relations I specialise in identifying the media you need to be in and then targeting those journalists with relevant stories about your company. Building relationships with the key media people in your industry and local area will help your business to get into the media for free. It isn’t an accident that we regularly hear of certain companies, it is a planned media campaign and all businesses can benefit from good media relations. Press materials From a standard press release to an article written and submitted to a magazine, to letters to the editor and case studies which can be used online, in corporate literature and with the media, I can provide them all. Interviewing the right people in your business, wide research of competitors and what’s happening in the industry results in strong and interesting stories. With over ten years’ experience of the media and writing I have had clients on BBC television and radio, in national newspapers such as The Observer, The Independent and The Telegraph and in numerous trade magazines and local newspapers.

Whether it’s a presentation for a business pitch or the website you are developing it is best to be sure that it is accurate so that your company is always regarded as professional. MARKETING There are so many ways that a company can promote itself and, depending on the size and what you hope to achieve, it can be a full-time job. I can offer you a variety of services to ensure that your business gets the recognition it deserves without breaking the bank. Websites are often the first point of contact that people have with your company or organisation. Whether a prospective client or a browsing member of the public it is important to have a simple, attractive and informative site to gain business or encourage interest. I have contacts with a number of web designers who can meet your needs and your budget. Managing the entire project and ensuring that your site has concise but comprehensive copy, meaning that you can be confident of your first impression and getting relevant enquiries. Your website can also be hosted for a monthly or annual fee. Brochures and corporate literature serve a range of purposes. It may be postcards to leave in local areas so that people know you exist and contact you for your services. You may want to send a leaflet or brochure to prospective clients demonstrating your expertise or perhaps you have to produce an annual report. Whatever your needs I can provide the copy, recommend a format and arrange the design. Advertising can benefit your business but only if you target the right people via the right magazine, newspaper, radio station or TV channel. We offer the expertise to advise where and when to advertise, or not. In addition an advert can be designed and written ready for the publication so all you have to do is make sure you’re happy with it. Photography should never be underestimated. Good images can be used to win contracts and attract new clients so taking the time to get together a range of shots can pay dividends. These photos can then be used online, in advertisements, in brochures, annual reports and also in the press, with planning and a good brief I can manage your photography requirements ensuring that your company gets the most out of the time spent with a professional.

97.5FM & SKY TV Presenter; BBC Intro winner singer; Head Agent,PR Guru-With Panache; MD - ALEMAR Pitching, Record Label, Alexandra L

97.5FM & SKY TV Presenter; BBC Intro winner singer;...

Finchampstead, United Kingdom
www.withpanache.biz BBC Introducing Winning singer/songwriter; professional working presenter & actress; weekly Radio presenter on 97.5FM; Head Agent and owner of With Panache Agency, Events & PR; successful entrepreneur and business woman. ------ Alexandra first began getting recognised as one to watch when she was the lead singer for a 7 piece band produced by Paul Handley, Out Of bounds Music. They won Emergenza Unsigned and played in many top venues in London getting very positive feedback from industry professionals. Spotted on this circuit, Alexandra was snapped up and then became the featured live singer with top trance DJ Lost Witness on the Gatecrasher Classics tour promoting new single ‘Behind Your Eyes’ at festivals here and abroad. This was a great opener for Alex and she started working with many trance and dance DJ’s as the lead vocalist on their hits. Alexandra then entered a local competition at Chicago Rock Café, where she went on to win the heats but narrowly lost out to X-Factors Danyl Johnson. However, one of the judges was impressed by Alexandra and asked if she would be interested in working with him. This judge was the legendary rocker, Les Payne. With Les’s help, Alex has met and worked with a long list of well known writers. During these years, Alexandra was working hard as a professional actress too. In 2009 she toured London and the South East with her highly acclaimed one woman show – The Courtesan – which she then took up to Edinburgh Fringe. The show sold out every night (unheard of!) and gained 5* reviews from The Scotsman. In fact, 2009 was a good year for Alexandra musically too. Winning UK Unsigned and getting to perform at the prestigious ‘Hackney Empire’ was another highlight. She then recorded an album with writer Sara Jaffe and top producer Darren Monson, and she also teamed up with Lovescandal as their new lead singer. Lovescandal won Newcoming Artists (USA October & November 2008 pop category); have several collaborations with top 10 UK artist "Fizzy"; they recently partnered with Universal Music Group Usa 3 times "Grammy" Award Nominee Eng. Kevin Reeves and are currently under the Management of Paul Leigh "Digit" ex-executive with Sony-EMI. 2010 was even better. By now, Alexandra was writing her own music and she entered BBC Introducing – a very well respected BBC Radio competition. Not expecting to even be heard, you can imagine her surprise when live on radio her tracks were reviewed and she went on to win the title putting her alongside past winners that included Florence and the Machine and The Ting Tings! The accolade helped launch Alexandra into the limelight and provided her with new and exciting opportunities. Alexandra and her newly formed band (The Sunflowers!) played the BBC Introducing gig in Reading with much success - landing new gigs as a result and developing a bigger and more loyal fanbase. They then went on to perform on the main stage at the Inside:Outside Reading Festival and headline both the Wokingham Food and Drinks Festival 2010 and the 'Lead up to the Olympics' Vivacity Festival 2010 to name a few. As well as support from the BBC, they have received much press attention and had featured articles in a number of local and national newspapers. They have been headline and support acts at many top venues including: The Troubadour, The Bedford, Monto Water Rats, The Cobden Club, Café de Paris, RichMix for Jazz FM Radio to name a small few and their music is being played regularly on the radio in the UK, Europe and in South America and doing very well in Brazil! They released their EP 'FACEBOOK' in December 2010 and then their next EP ‘LET’S GO’ was released on to itunes and all other leading online distributors in Jan 2011. They have written ...an additional 6 songs that are being recorded this month as well as an entire re record of all released... tracks which will showcase a more rustic and live feel which is far better suited to their original and unique sound. In July 2010 Alexandra was asked to present the very prestigious Miss Great Britain awards. This opened new doors in the presenting world and after being seen on various TV channels who were covering the events she was asked to present and host for many other different events, festivals and fashion shows. In August 2010 she landed a regular TV job presenting on SKY TV – very exciting times indeed. 2011 has continued in this vein. Alexandra is still number one in the Latin genre of Indie Charts after 18 weeks; they have done countless TV recordings; countless air plays now on various radio stations including HeartFM, Q Radio, Leicester HFM, Jazz FM, Awesome Radio, Sine FM, TD1, Preston FM, The Overflow, Pure 107, Leith FM, Womens Radio, Heart FM Spain - to name but a few; a live show for JAZZ FM and Rich Mix; they have been performing at many festivals including Reading, Wokingham, CityFest, Windsor; Farnham; and they have been interviewed/reviewed recently by Buzzin, Qmunicate Magazine, All Gigs, Acoustic Magazine, Spark Magazine, Woho Music, France Magazine, Fame Magazine, Butterfly Music, Ent Focus, Femmusic and many more. Alexandra is the presenter on 97.5MFM New Music Discovery radio show every Tuesday which showacses new unsigned artists and emerging talent as well as 'lost treasures'. Alexandra has also been presenting for McLaren F1 Racing this year at the awesome McLaren Technology Centre interviewing Jenson and Lewis and discussing all things F1 and she has just landed herself a new job presenting on SKY to be announced soon...

Wines, Spirits, and Cigars While a sumptuous menu is essential to every event, some affairs require an added air of sophistication. Nothing brings that atmosphere to life better than offering the indulgence of fine wines, select liquors, and quality cigars to your guests. Location Search and Coordination Everyone knows that location is everything and finding the right space in the right place for your special event is of the utmost importance. This aspect sets the tone, supports your theme, and largely determines the event budget.

AAAAA Company thinks outside the box to ensure a unique location for you; our experts make sure you’re aware of them all.

Equipment, Tents, Etc. In the event that your chosen location will require a temporary facility, such as tents with flooring, we attend to delivery, installation, permits, and removal when the event is completed. Obtaining licenses and permits for such structures is typically part of this process, which is essential in ensuring that your event goes off without a hitch. Installation and Breakdown Coordination Our professionals will take responsibility of unloading, installing, and erecting any temporary facilities you need, such as flooring, tents, stages, and more.

It includes the definition of your business, a description of products or services, a profile of your target market and defines your company’s role in relationship to its competition. Many of these items are addressed in your strategic business plan. Your marketing plan is the specific actions you are going to undertake to achieve your goals of your marketing strategy.

Don't hesitate, now is the time to plan for your company's future! At DamaliConsulting we have a “vision for your business needs” Projections and Forecasts The heart of any successful business plan and/or strategic plan is the forecast or projection. A forecast or projection is similar to the historical data of a business with one key ...difference: forecasts and projections are prospective, they are for the future. A forecast consists of prospective financial statements that present... an expected financial position, results of operations, expenses and cash flows. A forecast is based on assumptions reflecting conditions that are expected to exist and the anticipated course of action expected to be taken. A projection consists of prospective financial statements that present, given one or more hypothetical assumptions; the company’s expected financial position, results of operations, expected expenses and cash flows. A financial projection is prepared to present a course of action for evaluation based on a “what if” scenario. If you've realized that you need professional and experienced assistance to help your company succeed, then let our us help make your dream a reality. With the help of DamaliConsulting you have the opportunity to maximize the success of your business. DamaliConsulting will help recognize your business' needs and eliminate possible problem areas by designing a business plan designed for your specific business. Successful business plans require an in depth analysis that include detailed projections and forecasts that determine your business needs and potential while outlining your financial requirements and keeping your business on track to achieve its goals. Cash Flow Analysis Cash flow analysis will enable your business to track cash as it flows in and out of your business and reveals to you the causes of both cash flow shortfalls and surpluses. The operating activities are the daily occurrences that are essential to any business operation. If these are positive, then it indicates to the owner that the business is self-sufficient in funding its daily operational cash flows internally. If the cash flow analysis number is negative, then it indicates that outside funds were needed to sustain the operation of the business. The increase or decrease in cash figure at the bottom of the cash flow statement represents the net result of operating, investing and financing activities. If a business ever runs out of cash or have the resources to obtain additional cash it is out of business. A cash flow statement will analyze your sources and uses of cash from month to month and from year to year if properly prepared and maintained. You will find the cash flow statement to be a valuable tool in understanding the cash flowing into and out of your business. You will need accurate and timely financial information to help you manage your business effectively. Your financial statements will also be critical as a budgeting tool to achieve financial milestones in your business. We are experts at cash flow analysis, either as a single function or as part of a larger engagement. Business Troubleshooting Business Troubleshooting is often difficult when you're in the middle of the storm. Business Troubleshooting is accomplished by utilizing skills that have been developed over many years of experience with proven results. To correct any business problem requires the ability to identify the problem, determine its cause and develop solutions that eliminate the problem. Management must also be aware that with out completely analyzing the cause of the problem additional problems could be set in motion developing a chain reaction and more serious consequences.
