Mark Bowness is in the Den…

Filed Under The ramblings of a creative consultant 

..no not Dragon’s Den… but I am pitching the Liverpool Culture Cafe concept to one of the Dragon’s, Peter Jones, and also Emily Eavis (daughter of Michael Eavis the owner of Glastonbury Festival) and Tim Campbell (winner of Sir Alan Sugar’s Apprentice).

I am in the semi-finals of the social enterprise competition whereby I have to give a 60 second pitch on the Liverpool Culture Cafe concept in London next week. This pitch will be filmed and the judges will choose four of the pitches to go through to the final. The final consists of the filmed pitches going on the social networking site Bebo and the audience will get to vote for who they want to win. The winner will recieve £5,000 and will be highly profiled at the Social Enterprise day on the 15th November.

This is really exciting for me as I am very passionate about the Liverpool Culture Cafe and it will be a great experience just to be able to share my vision with these people! I am REALLY looking forward to this and I am hastily putting together the best pitch possible!

Fingers crossed for the Liverpool Culture Cafe!

    Not exactly an original idea is it?

    Thanks for your comment Dirk…

    Well, as they say, there is nothing new under the Sun. I think it is fair to say that I have never promoted ‘Liverpool Culture Cafe’ as an ‘original’ concept however it is a concept which seeks to address a need to create ways and means of empoying disillusioned young adults who have not had much opportunity and who are being held back with their peers around them but have a yearning desire to do something different, to achieve their full potential. Therefore, original or not, I am passionate about creating such an opportunity, which is my aim with the Liverpool Culture Cafe.

    Wow… Face man himself (Dirk) comments… in fact, I am not sure it is Face as he would not have said something so grumpy!

    Best of luck Mark… remember, when it all comes together… come back toi this thread and say to Face, “I love it when a plan comes together”. :-)
