Ahh – still smiling from the most inspiring day with Destination Her and Socially Speaking Media at the stunning Contour Content Studios in Manchester. From the moment I arrived, I was surrounded by warmth, support, and so many like-minded, driven women.
I’ll admit-I was a little nervous going alone. But honestly? I was instantly welcomed. The energy in the room was incredible. From small business owners to content creators and marketers, everyone was there to learn, share, and grow together. It was one of those rare spaces where you could feel the genuine support in the air.
We kicked off the day with an incredible talk from Vicky Owens, founder of Socially Speaking Media. Vicky shared so many powerful insights into content, marketing, and how to actually create viral-worthy videos. My notebook was full by the end—and I left feeling completely refreshed, refocused, and full of new ideas I can’t wait to bring into Frore (and my day job too!).
The venue—Contour Content Studios-was a dream. Think soft natural light, clean lines, and two perfectly styled spaces. The Meze Studio (which gave serious Santorini vibes) was ideal for what we’re planning for June’s shoot. I’m seriously considering booking it!
We spent the afternoon capturing content, everything from B-roll, unboxing, prep shots, and of course, photos of the upcoming May and June sets. I can’t wait to share more soon, but the sneak peeks we got were pure magic. ✨
The gift bag was also such a lovely touch-filled with thoughtful tools for content creators:
-
A notebook
-
Mini microphone
-
Clip-on phone light
-
Phone holder
-
Pen
…basically everything you need for content creation on the go!
Also, can we talk about the food? Obsessed. The falafel and lentil salad was chef’s kiss. Nourishing and so, so good.
Huge thank you to Alannis and Emma for hosting such a beautiful, intentional day. They really do put on the best events—if you're based in Manchester and love a bit of luxe, girly networking, definitely follow Destination Her.
Whether you're a creator, small business owner, or just someone who loves to connect, I’d highly recommend keeping an eye on their next event.
And if you're still reading… here's your sneak peek of the May set
Delicate, divine, and maybe my favourite one yet.
Empowered women empower women.
