How to Make Your Company Famous

If you are running a business in Brighton and have been feeling like your brand is getting lost in the noise of the digital age, there is an event coming up at PLATF9RM that might be worth your time. On Thursday, 2 April 2026, Jon and Corinne Card are hosting a session titled How to Make Your Company Famous. It is set up as an evening of pizza, wine, and practical advice, aimed at founders, CEOs, and marketing leads who want to figure out how to get their story heard without just shouting into the void of LinkedIn.

The evening kicks off at 18:00 with some networking, pizza, and drinks, which are being provided with the support of Barclays Eagle Labs. By 18:30, the formal part of the night begins with a talk from Corinne Card. She is a specialist in AI, digital risk, and media, and she will be breaking down how artificial intelligence has fundamentally changed the media landscape. It is a topic that feels particularly relevant right now, given how much the rules of search visibility and digital authority seem to shift every few months.

Following a short break, Jon Card will take over at 19:10. Jon has a background as a business journalist for outlets like The Guardian, The Times, and The Daily Telegraph, and he has spent a lot of time helping clients secure investment. His session focuses on the practical side of PR, specifically looking at why a founder’s personal story is often their strongest asset. He plans to cover common PR mistakes and discuss how to make a company more 'citable, searchable, and credible' in the current market. The event wraps up around 20:00 after an open Q&A session, leaving time for some informal networking before the night ends.

It is a free event, but you will need to grab a ticket through Eventbrite to secure your spot at the venue on North Road. Whether you are a consultant, an advisor, or just someone trying to build authority in your field, the focus here seems to be on actionable frameworks rather than just theory. It is a straightforward way to spend a Thursday evening if you are looking to sharpen how you present your business to the world.
