We had an amazing Team 2025 Kick-off at @daylesfordfarm last Monday! 🤩 In the fast-paced world of agency life, we often spend a lot of time working “in the business,” not “on the business,” but this was a great reminder of the impact our small team can make. 👏🏻

Good food, good atmosphere, and good team energy!

Good food, good atmosphere, and good team energy! 👏

🐢 As we continue to settle into our new office, we’ve also really enjoyed getting out and about!

Here are some of the highlights from this month:

🔗 Collaborating with Local Businesses: We valued the great insights we gleaned at Shakespeare’s England Winter Tourism Forum. Events like this allow us to exchange ideas, and to keep up to date with the current tourism landscape.

🌐 Attending Industry Events: We attended the National Farming Association Network Conference in Blackpool, where we met and learnt from industry professionals, visited some fantastic farm attractions, and enjoyed a delicious 3 course dinner too!

☕️ One-on-One Meetings: We LOVE a good old fashioned face to face meeting and it’s been lovely welcoming clients to the office for a cuppa and a catch up.

🧐Sometimes, you’re just too close to see clearly. You know your business inside out— but that’s the thing, it’s sometimes hard to step back and see what other routes your business could take.

🐢That’s where sometimes all you need is an outside perspective with a fresh pair of eyes.

😁At Talking Tortoise, we help businesses understand their alternative offerings in a way that makes them stand out.

✍️ Whether it’s refining your corporate strategy or upskilling your team in social media, we show you how to leverage what you already have in innovative ways.

👀 From strategy and positioning to discovering what truly sets you apart, we’ll guide you in seeing the bigger picture and finding smarter ways to win.
