&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The Queen of Enterprise Nation in Scotland&amp;quot; is how Emma Jones, CEO of Enterprise Nation describes me!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She may very well say so. But I couldn&amp;#39;t possibly comment, he he!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi, I&amp;#39;m Fin and I work with my&lt;a href="https://supersizemedia.co.uk/"&gt; Supersize Media&lt;/a&gt; team and Enterprise Nation on campaigns and events in Scotland such as:&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.enterprisenation.com/campaigns/she-means-business/"&gt;She Means Business&lt;/a&gt; in collaboration with Facebook (&amp;quot;a series of events to inspire creativity, empower confidence and educate on how to best utilise Facebook and Instagram to grow women&amp;#39;s business)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Free Networking Events around Scotland in 2018&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Go and Grow Online &amp;quot;Encouraging more businesses to get online and support existing internet traders to grow)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was awarded the Association of Scottish Women in Business&lt;a href="http://www.asb-scotland.org/news-and-events/2018-asb-women-of-inspiration-awards"&gt; &amp;quot;Woman of Inspiration 2018&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; in recognition of my services to women, enterprise, digital literacy and social media and a finalist in Outstanding Contribution by the ASB.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With a background in law, journalism, direct marketing, copywriting and speech writing, plus 18 years experience in marketing and digital, I like to think I walk the walk of small business growth and development online.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Clients include State Street Bank, Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, ScottishPower, McEwan Fraser Legal, Edinburgh College and Business Women Scotland, as well as many startup companies and entrepreneurs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Plus I have a healthy following online - unlike many wannabes in the digital sector!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a regular contributor to BBC programmes on the digital and social media economy as well as publications such as The Guardian, Women in Trade, BQ Scotland, SBBN, Scottish Entrepreneur and Richard Branson&amp;#39;s Entrepreneur Blog.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My boutique digital marketing agency,&lt;a href="https://supersizemedia.co.uk/"&gt; Supersize Media&lt;/a&gt;, works with clients to produce outstanding digital and social media branding and websites as part of an overall marketing strategy that includes highly targeted video, email, podcasting, social sales, PR, Google / social media ads and re-marketing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These strategies are then rolled out and optimised on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin etc to grow the brand&amp;rsquo;s profile, authority and sales growth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most importantly, we work with most budgets, either in a coaching capacity, or training or actually taking over and running the campaigns for clients to deliver the most effective results, reports and profits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am mad for the bants, love a good laff, adore my Supersize Media team of full-timers and freelancers and get off on inspirational people, ideas, strategies and plans.&lt;/p&gt;
