Jonathan interviewed Amanda Daniels, the founder of Koogar. Please read on to see what he found out!
Amanda Daniels owns and works for Koogar, which is a digital marketing company which specializes in website design and developement. Amanda works with her partner Andy, currently from a home office and the company has been running full time for 9 months, but in total 3 years.
Before Amanda set up her own business, she was a web designer of 7 years, this involved her being part of a team where she was produced insurance websites, working with big clients such as HSBC. Amanda felt that she was starting to lose some of her design and creative skills as these websites had to have strict structures, therefore decided to move away from this and set up her own company to retrieve some of these skills.
Amanda wanted to help other businesses as she felt that companies were getting over charged for websites. Amanda felt that as she had experience working for big companies that she would be able to provide better websites for businesses cost effectively. Amanda prides her self on presentation as she feels that this is key to what she does.

This week Koogar attended the Business Northwest Event in Manchester’s G-Mex.
We started quite early as we got the train and got to the venue about 9am.
I met a business colleague on the train on the way and before we made a start, we went and found a full English breakfast at a little cafe called “Bowlers”. Once we had finished and set ourselves up for the day, we then proceeded to be in the first group of speed networking of the day.
There were 50 businesses lined up in what they called “cots” ready to deliver their 60 second pitch, pass business cards and potentially do business. I saw this as a great opportunity to practise Koogar’s new 60 second proposition to new people and businesses. Obviously the more you practise the better and more confident you become in delivering it to others.
So, why did we go to this event knowing we have a lot of work on at the moment and spend time away from the business?
Well, we ask ourselves this question every time we are not in the office. As we all know, you need to spend and use your time effectively! Our goal for the day was to maybe find new clients, practise our new 60 second pitch, but more importantly come up with some new ideas for the business.
On Thursday we met a new PR company that we would like to do businesses with, an online magazine and also got re-aquainted with Business Link.
It is worth going to there events to take you away from the business and the day to day work for a while to:
If you went along, please let us know what you thought and what you got out of it… We look forward to hearing from you!
Today I cancelled a few things we needed to attend for Koogar (working on the business) and concentrated on doing some actual work, but I’m still planning on networking tonight in Chester. The reason I cancelled is sometimes you just go a long to things for the sake of it without looking at the schedule and working out your deadlines and other things like admin that need to be done.
Anyway, I was running a little late due to unforeseen circumstances, but still got the the networking event 20 minutes late (and hadn’t missed the speaker). I had to attend this event as I have been asked to speak in a few months with regards to Social Media and how it can help your business, so I wanted to go to see the facilities and make some notes so I am prepared for when its my turn.
The speaker this evening was Chrissie [PAUSE] Chrissie Gibson, a lady who is very knowledgeable when it comes to networking and who I have met and seen speak many times before. (Chrissie has also spoken at a MyWirralHub event).
Even though I have heard Chrissie speak many times, I still pick up little nuggets of information on networking best practises. Since this event I have decided to attend a workshop put on by Chrissie so I don’t miss anything out and polish my networking skills.
Have you attended one of Chrissie’s courses? If yes, do you recommend it and what was the best thing you took away from it?
