Louis Lawrence’s Post

This weekend, a couple of us went to "The Big Showdown" at the Spurs stadium to see the Harlequins v Saracens game. Now the game was pretty one-sided and not quite the thriller we'd hoped, but what was lovely to see was the "Odd Socks" worn by every single player to recognise World Downs Syndrome Day (which was last week). Sport has such a following and platform, it's great when they use it to raise awareness of such important things! It also got us thinking about a few things: 1) We've today made the commitment to make our website more accessible and will be taking advice on what's needed and implementing it over the coming weeks and months. 2) We talk a lot about "the right partner" and how everything we do is individualised, and I wanted to expand on that further. All of us work slightly differently, and here at BCM, we're blessed with a wide array of skills and ways to work as you need us to. We look to be that employee you hired because they work as you need to, have a vast skillset available to you, and you don't have to manage us. We have our internal processes to maximise success, of course we do, but how we work with you is completely dependant on what you need. Need more F2F time - Done! Need to call us at 6pm - Done. Need to just get a report once a month and for us to take care of everything - Done. Drop us a message today if you'd like to discuss how we can be like the best and easiest employee you've ever had in marketing! #Marketing #Partnership #Accessibility #WorldDownsSydromeDay

Hello there! Here are some useful tips for networking events. This article summarizes key points from a conversation I had with Ljubica Garic ➡️ Digital Dragons from 8Bit - Games Industry Recruitment some time ago. Hope it helps you out! (So don't forget to go to parties)

As we enter into February, everyones focus starts to turn to live events for 2024. We are once again proud media partners with a number of amazing companies in the iGaming & Sports Betting industry. Part of my goal and passion is to continue to help grow and spread these events to people in my small network! So with that said, you will likely see a number of posts in the coming months featuring aspects of these events that you might not know. The hardest part for me is knowing which events to attend in person... It's always tough to make them "all" so you have to focus and pick/choose your battles. Anyways, I won't be making ICE this year. So all of my colleagues heading there in a week -- enjoy! If you want, we can schedule an online MEET prior or after this event and "pretend" we are both there. How's that sound? Let's connect. The first one on my US tour of events is the NEXT NYC event in March. Don't sleep as that is just around the corner. We will be doing some interviews with speakers and featuring some of the agenda items across our media properties in the coming month. Be on the lookout! Date: March 6-7 (just 35 days away) If you haven't attended a NEXT event, you are in for a treat. Very professional and well done. Excited to see the improvements they have made this year and continue our proud media partnership with this amazing company. Are you going? If so -- let's book some time to say hello in person. Time flies when you are there -- so setting up your schedule ahead of time is CRUCIAL to success in business networking at NEXT events. More to come ya'll... Looking forward to connecting KNUP with your business in 2024 at an event near you :) #igaming #igamingnext #NEXT #sportsbetting #gaming #gambling #events #networking #letsmeet

📢🤔 Life Lessons from a Ping Pong Ball Sometimes, in our pursuits of success, we forget about the invaluable life lessons that come from the simplest of objects. One such object is the humble ping pong ball. 🏓 Let's take a moment to reflect on the lessons we can learn from this bouncy, lightweight sphere that has impacted many lives on numerous levels: 1️⃣ Embrace resilience: The ping pong ball bounces back no matter how hard it gets hit. Similarly, in our professional and personal lives, setbacks are inevitable. It's about how we rebound from these setbacks that defines our character and determines our success. 2️⃣ Adaptability is key: Ping pong balls have a unique ability to adapt to various playing surfaces. Likewise, in a rapidly-changing world, being adaptable and open to new ideas can help us thrive in any situation. Flexibility is the key to staying relevant and ahead of the game. 3️⃣ Embrace diversity: Think about all the different colors and designs of ping pong balls. Each one is unique and brings a different dynamic to the game. Similarly, in our professional lives, embracing diversity in all forms – be it backgrounds, ideas, or perspectives – creates a richer and more innovative environment. 4️⃣ Precision matters: A slight change in the angle or speed of hitting the ping pong ball can make all the difference between a point won or lost. Likewise, attention to detail and precision are crucial in our work. It's the little things that can often make the biggest impact. 5️⃣ Teamwork makes the dream work: Ping pong is not a solo sport. Doubles matches require effective communication, trust, and coordination between teammates. Similarly, in our professional lives, success is often achieved through collaboration and leveraging the strengths of others. 6️⃣ Enjoy the journey: Ping pong is not just about winning; it's also about the joy of playing the game. Similarly, success is not solely measured by our achievements but also by the enjoyment we derive from the process. Find joy in the challenges, learn from the failures, and savor the victories. As we navigate our careers and personal lives, let's remember the insightful lessons that even a small ping pong ball can teach us. So, the next time you see a ping pong ball, take a moment to reflect on these principles and approach life with a renewed perspective. What lessons have you learned from unexpected sources? Share your thoughts and let's learn from one another! 🤝🌱 #LifeLessons #SuccessMindset #Adaptability #DiversityMatters #Teamwork #EnjoyTheJourney #ProfessionalGrowth

We love authenticity! Be open and approachable during our meetings. Genuine engagement fosters stronger, more meaningful connections. It's not about putting on a persona, but about being yourself! Share your ideas, express your thoughts, listen to others, and be open to learning new things. That's what networking is all about! #networking #sportsindustry #sportsprofessionals

What exactly are professional combines? If you’ve been around the football world, you’ve probably heard of them. A combine is essentially a tryout event. Here’s how it works: You pay around $300-$600 for a 3-day event. During this time, you’ll participate in three 90-minute 11v11 matches. The audience? Pro coaches and scouts. If you stand out, you could receive an offer or be invited to a trial. You might wonder about your chances of signing a pro contract. While it's not guaranteed, these coaches are actively looking for new talent. If you haven’t had a pro opportunity yet, a combine could be your next step.
