What the Dragons don't tell you about entrepreneurship

Claire Mason, Managing Director of Man Bites Dog, is living proof that you can start a business from your kitchen table without start-up funding and grow it to become a leader in your field. Founded in 2005, Man Bites Dog has established a reputation as the leading UK public relations consultancy for professional services firms.

Now the UK's most award-winning business-to-business PR consultancy, Man Bites Dog's accolades include B2B Marketing's Best PR Agency 2009, CIPR Outstanding Consultancy 2008, PR Week's New Consultancy of the Year 2007 and PR Week's Best Place to Work 2009. Claire has also been recognised as one of Management Today magazine's 35 Under 35 most successful young business women.

Claire will share the secrets of her success, reveal what Dragon's don't tell you about entrepreneurship and why starting a business is easier than you think. This is a workshop for entrepreneurs who don't know it yet!

Claire has an MA in English from Oxford University, a research MA (distinction) from York University and a postgraduate CIPR Diploma. She is a judge for both the PR Week and the PRCA Awards, and in her spare time is a published author.
