Sweet_ness7 Café holds marketing event

A networking event designed to bring marketers and clients together is returning to the West Side next month at the Sweet_ness 7 Cafe at 220 Grant St.
While specifically aimed at marketing professionals, others can benefit from the event as well, said Nicholas Heim, who said he got the idea for the gathering from attending HubSpot conferences..HubSpot is an inbound marketing tool that features using social media to connect clients with marketers at specific stages of their needs.
“There’s really a need in the area for people to meet up to speak on commonalities and marketing and anyone who is a business owner, marketing-oriented, entrepreneur or marketer can get something out of it, ” Heim said.
The event will be held at 6 p.m., June 10  and is open to public at no cost.  The first event  attracted 35 attendees who had traveled from as far away as Toronto and Rochester to make new connections.  The café was chosen specifically because Heim wanted to contribute to helping the area continue its recent upswing.
“The West Side is really doing well, but it hasn’t completely turned over yet, ” Heim said.  “I want to bring in some people from surrounding areas and communities, like Amherst, who normally wouldn’t venture to that area.”
Café owner Prish Moran said she enjoys holding these types of events.
We loved having Nick and his group and look forward to their return in June,” Moran said. By Jeffrey Mayne
