Building a Community for PLATF9RM
EVENT CURATION & BRAND ACTIVATIONDIGITAL MARKETING & WEBSITE REDESIGNPLATF9RM is one of the South Coast’s most vibrant coworking communities. My role was more than just driving traffic or managing comms, my focus was on creating a sense of community through brand activation—with events at the heart of the strategy.
Curating events at PLATF9RM was about bringing people together, in unexpected, authentic ways.
We were never about ‘networking’ in the traditional sense, but rather creating moments of delight and genuine human connection. Alongside my Events Executive, I curated and delivered 16 monthly events for both members and non-members, as well as larger-scale, ad-hoc conferences.
Work: Reinvented
Working for PLATF9RM sparked my interest in the evolving nature of the workplace. Our members were vibrant, thoughtful people who saw work differently—valuing connection and care over competition. Our community allowed that mindset to thrive.
In 2020, following the success of Kickass Women, I curated and executed a full-day conference for PLATF9RM titled Work: Reinvented.
The event aimed to explore what “work” really means in a post-pandemic world. With 9 speakers including keynotes, workshops, and panel discussions, Work: Reinvented was a sold-out success and cemented PLATF9RM’s role as a convener of fresh thinking in the workspace sector..
In The Press
“On 23rd September, Platf9rm – a membership workspace in Brighton that connects communities of creative professionals, artists, and entrepreneurs, providing inspirational environments in which members’ businesses flourish – held an all-day event called Work Reinvented.”
