Kochie’s Business Builders is back for episode 3 of our special series, Small Business First.

Kochie catches up with Tobi Skovron and Shardae Mazzeo from CreativeCubes.Co

The pair walk us through how the company has utilised tech to ensure their business can remain operational during the crisis.

Setting Your Small Business Up For Success

The trail towards small business success is never a straight one. There are many twists and turns, and unexpected bumps along the way.

But if you put the right foundations in place to begin with then you can navigate the road ahead. With full business visibility you can see opportunities and know when you’re approaching a fork in the road.

Our very own Shardae Mazzeo shared her expert advice along with several other Trailblazers on how building a solid foundation will set your small business up for success and growth in the month and years ahead.

Strategic Marketing Mastery Program

If you are a Startup founders/business owner that wants to increase your strategic capabilities around marketing and get better results from your marketing efforts, then please have a look at the Strategic Marketing Mastery program from our friends at Marketing Entourage. You will develop critical thinking skills when it comes to making decisions about how to market your business and integrate that knowledge into your business strategy.

For those wanting to grow your business without paying for a consultancy or agency to do the work for you, this course will build the required knowledge to be able to do it yourself or even direct others effectively, so that any activities have maximum positive impact on the business. While doing the work and the active learning yourself, you will have an expert mentor to guide you through the process and support you to building a strategy that will work.

Join the next cohort of the Strategic Marketing Mastery Program and build your entrepreneurial skills and network.

Starts 6th July, limited places.

Sure Click

Sure Click is an advanced anti-malware solution designed to protect users from high-end malicious websites and phishing attachment attacks (particularly things like Office docs and PDFs). It's traditionally used by sensitive organisations and in the past it's always been assumed this tech would be needed primarily by enterprise users, and would be managed with the backing of a well-resourced IT and Security Operations Team.

Now with everyone who is lucky enough to still have a job scrambling to get work done, a lot more work is happening on personal devices, which won't be administered centrally. So to keep organisations safe, the global Bromium team has worked hard to release a version of the solution for home users, which requires zero administration.

It's free for anyone to use (no registration required) until at least the end of September. If you run Windows 10, and particularly if doing your job requires you to routinely interact with email attachments from external parties, it might save you some stress over the next few months. It complements your existing AV, it does not replace or disable it.
