A HUDDERSFIELD businessman has been invited to join the panel at a high-profile event for the technology sector next week.

Andy Earnshaw, business development manager for Golcar-based text messaging specialist SMileS SMS will take part in Moving Buyers, Moving Media, which will be held next Tuesday in Manchester.

Mr Earnshaw has been chosen to take part because of his in-depth knowledge of mobile communication and his overall experience in leading-edge marketing.

Said Mr Earnshaw: “Technology continues to be a sector of great innovation, growth and complexity with its own unique set of challenges and opportunities for marketers.

“Sage and The Pocket Agency will provide key speakers to explain how they have achieved high growth for their technology- based businesses – using a mix of different marketing techniques and communication channels.”

The event at Manchester Business School is one in a series of activities organised by the Technology Market Interest Group – a special interest group of the Chartered Institute of Marketing.

Said Mr Earnshaw: “This is an opportunity to hear first hand from leading industry practitioners, gain future insights, take part in panel discussions and debate with like minded peers who understand the marketing dynamics and aspirations of the technology sector.”
