ND Events and Marketing

ND Events and Marketing provides specialist events, marketing and management skills to
organisations in the education, public and business sectors.

The company has been formed by Nicky Daniels (MCIPD MCIM) who has over 15 years
experience of events and marketing management within the Higher Education sector. Prior to
this, Nicky put her management and training experience, gained during many years in the
retail sector, to good use by teaching retail and marketing subjects in further education
colleges. She holds the City and Guilds 730 Adult Trainers Award.

One of Nicky's first projects in Higher Education marketing was to manage communications
during the difficult transition period when the world of nursing and midwifery transferred it's
training programmes from the NHS into the world of Higher Education.

Having spent some years as marketing manager for a School of Health Nicky then moved, as
Deputy Director, to a university’s corporate marketing function, allowing her to have a more
influential role affecting how universities should promote themselves in an increasingly
competitive market place.

Nicky has worked on many projects throughout her marketing career both strategically and
operationally, including a university re-brand project, sourcing sponsorship for events,
initiating and imbedding CRM systems, integrated marketing campaigns and showcase events
such as a Graduate Fashion Show which attracts audiences in excess of 3000 each year, both
from the local community and influential global businesses. She has also secured the
sponsorship which ensures the continuation of such flagship events.
