Newcastle Chamber Update - November 28 2022
Need Help With Your Business?
Do You Have A Business Issue That Needs Help?
The Chamber is working hand in hand with Durham College and as such we are sponsoring the Durham College Marketing Competition. We have been asked to supply two business cases (one for each round) that focus on a business marketing issue. Five cases will be provided to Durham College and two will be selected for use. The Chamber is sponsoring this event as an opportunity to assist the College and give our members valuable input at no cost to them. A win/win opportunity. The Chamber will also be involved by providing a guest speaker (another opportunity) as well as judges for the presentations.
Do Not Miss Out On This Opportunity!
Here are some suggestions of elements that would be considered:
  • Targeting a new demographic (consumer or business)
  • Launching a new product, service, or event
  • Launching a new online marketing initiative
  • Launching a marketing promotion campaign
  • The problem should be something that can be addressed in the timeframe of the competition: The teams at Durham College will have a 30-minute window to come up with ideas.
  • Please provide a written paragraph about your marketing challenge for consideration. Durham College will review your challenges, and if selected, that business will provide more details for the case.
Did You Know?
2023 will mark the 50th Anniversary of The Newcastle and District Chamber of Commerce.
We are very excited about this upcoming milestone and have started discussing plans to celebrate. One of the projects is to recreate the history of the Past Presidents. Apparently, there was a plaque at the Community Hall which has been misplaced. We are asking anyone with information on names and dates to please contact Jim Norwood at:


Stay tuned for more information and feel free to send ideas and stories from the past years for inclusion! 
We would like to thank you
