IN THE HOUSE, ON THE HOUSE

In the house, On the house wrap up

Friday 22 May 2020


On Monday 30 March, 2020 we launched ‘In the house, On the house’ – a complimentary consultation offering for small businesses affected by covid-19. ‘ITHOTH’ was established to provide all sole traders, SMEs, freelancers, bands, artists, or start-ups who were stuck in the house, phone or email consultations on the house. Simple.

Absolutely free, the purpose of this service offering was to provide advice and information to small business owners based on their current marketing efforts and what can be done during covid-19 to keep their head above water. Like many businesses in many industries, we too felt the weight of what was to come.

Over the course of six weeks we spoke to LOTS of incredible people. We not only wanted to help others, but aimed to keep ourselves busy during isolation, too!
