What People Say About Us

Hear from professionals who've attended our events.

"I thoroughly enjoyed both the content and the networking on offer, for a first event it was really well put together and really worthwhile attending!"

Tom Howes

Tom Howes

Head of Paid Search @ Media Lab

"Edinburgh boasts a vibrant marketing scene, yet opportunities for us all to connect are often limited. That's why I'm genuinely appreciative of Teo and SEM Stories for organising this event in February. I particularly enjoyed that the talks offered a good mix of platform-specific and general marketing insights. The event's format also made it remarkably easy to form both new and old connections, which was a huge plus. I can’t wait for the next one!"

Winnie Ho

Sr growth executive, Monzo Bank

"It's rare to find events in Scotland truly tailored for our discipline, especially outside your own company/agency bubble. Attending and speaking at the first SEM Stories & More was a refreshing experience. The opportunity to connect with other practitioners was valuable and with more events on the horizon, covering the fast-paced changes in the industry, I'm looking forward to seeing how this community grows."
