Gaining influence and being respected as a leader instead of a follower is a key goal for most organisations. To be an influencer you need to be seen and be recognised as a well connected and important player in the market - someone who drives the agenda.

One of the main benefits of working with us is that we know the people that influence. By leveraging our connections, which have been built over 25 years, we can envelop you into our business community. We make introductions to strategic business partners across a range of industry sectors, and in-turn make you a go-to person for others.

We can use our influence to expand your network through lead generation activities, providing high-level speakers and events, such as roundtables, networking forums, seminars and advisory boards – getting you out at the coalface.


“C8 instigated our roundtable series, which we now run across our range of publications and it has been a real eye opener for us. We have expanded our contact database considerably and, even though our original aim was to do it mainly as a profile raising exercise, it has now translated to sales. We have just signed an £80,000 global subscription deal with a major player, and are gaining revenues through sponsorship, largely thanks to the efforts of C8.” Gerard Tilley, Managing Director, VRL Publishing
