Business networking group JCI Cambridge has been nominated for two European awards at the JCI European Conference in Spain this week.

It’s in the running for the awards for ‘best membership recruitment’ and ‘best marketing and PR’.

“It’s a tremendous honour to be nominated for two European awards,” said marketing consultant Jo Evans from Emerald Frog Marketing, which has been regularly promoting the group.

“This is not only due to the marketing strategies put in place but also the hard work and dedication of all the committee members who work so hard to make JCI Cambridge a success.”

JCI Cambridge delivers training and special interest group seminars, networking and social opportunities for business professionals under 40 years old.

It has grown from a handful of members to around 40 since it relaunched two years ago - and won five UK awards at the JCI UK National Convention in December.
