Lights, camera, social action!
by Elizabeth Barker - Wednesday, 6 January 2010, 01:49 PM
 

iSE staff left their laptops at home and came over all creative for a recent team building exercise with the help of media production company Ignite Creative.

Inspired by the influx of social media and recognising the importance of such platforms for the marketing of social enterprise, staff spent the morning brainstorming ideas around what iSE means to them to produce three short films, and here are the results!

Exciting new project!
by Elizabeth Barker - Monday, 23 November 2009, 09:30 AM
 

iSE, with support from Be Birmingham are starting an exciting new project to identify new markets for social enterprise. iSE aims to develop and pilot a brokerage service between purchaser and provider to support the growth of social enterprises working in Birmingham.  In other words, we want to act as an intermediary between social enterprises and the public and private sectors, by way of matching your organisation’s skills with potential market opportunities to increase your success in obtaining contracts and selling your product or service.  
 
The first stage of the project is to map all the social enterprises working across Birmingham. Over the coming weeks we will be phoning your organisation for information on the products and services that you offer. We want to do this because currently there is no broker service mediating between purchaser and provider.


If you are interested in finding out more, or are a social enterprise and would like to ensure your organisation is included in the mapping of the sector, please contact Amber or Elizabeth at iSE on 0121 771 1411 or email us: amber.woodfull@i-se.co.uk or elizabeth.barker@i-se.co.uk
