Search has changed. Again.
As AI overviews, zero-click results, and platforms like ChatGPT continue to reshape how people find and trust brands online, the traditional SEO playbook is quickly becoming obsolete. We’re no longer fighting for just rankings, we’re fighting for attention, credibility, and visibility everywhere.
In this webinar, Dominic Baliszewski and Kate Sikora will pull back the curtain on how we’re working with data scientists, journalists, and search experts to redefine what success looks like in this new landscape. You’ll learn how to measure your Earned Visibility Score, a new metric for a new era, and see how leading brands are adapting to maintain relevance across the entire digital ecosystem.
Expect fresh insights, future-facing tactics, and a few strong opinions.
This session is for digital marketers, brand leaders, and comms pros who are responsible for making their organisation discoverable and credible online. Whether you lead search strategy, run campaigns, or oversee brand visibility, this one’s for you.

//PERFORMANCES\\
Cerulean : “[no] good grief” // Participatory performance
[no] good grief is Cerulean’s (not so) final Hurrah. It is a celebration, it is a party, it is a Funeral.
An experiment for mourning in community, it is a plea to remind the audience that they need not grieve alone. Not all deaths are equal and not everyone gets the after-death process that they want or deserve. This show intends to explore the audience as a necessary participant in the very sad (we are all very sad to hear about the) passing of Cerulean and to test the limits of silence at a wake.
[no] good grief is a participatory performance about grief, silliness and premature burials, neatly gift wrapped and adorned with a party hat.
Exploring themes of morality, Queerness and care from the perspective of a Trans, working class performer who is certain they will die (if not now then) soon. This is a show for audiences who may one day die…. oh, wait, that’s everyone.
//NETWORKING\\
For filmmakers, creatives and everyone in between, we are offering an hour of networking, a valuable opportunity to deepdive into other projects around the city, whilst enjoying our art exhibition.
//EXHIBITION\\
“Abjection” by artist Lansdall
“Abjection draws me towards the place where meaning collapses” – Julia Kristeva
Death lies on the threshold between two states of being. A fleeting moment of oblivion at the advent of change.
In the physical sense, it is annihilation. Spiritually however, it is the step towards rebirth and personal growth.
This juxtaposition between death and life creates a paradox within us, where for many in the western world, the fear of death subtly overlaps with the fear of change. But to truly develop, that fear must be accepted.
This is what we explore in this exhibition; the complex, intertwining relationships between themes of death, loss, rebirth, and self-fulfilment.
//FOOD AND DRINKS\\
This event is non-alcoholic. Hot drinks and soft drinks will be available, along with snacks, pastries and more. Free popcorn for everyone!
