Business cards for speed networking

Media professionals should consider stand-out business cards

Sydneysiders who are looking to add new contacts to their network may wish to have their business cards at the ready for a media meet-and-greet event.

The Apple Store at Bondi Junction is set to play host to a Metro Screen event this evening (June 30) which puts a unique spin on traditional networking.

In an exhilarating social event designed to appeal to media professionals with a huge range of skill sets, participants will be encouraged to spend the hour speed networking.

During a fast-paced 60-minute session, media professionals will have the opportunity to interact with several fresh faces, including writers, editors, cinematographers, directors, producers, animators, actors and visual effects specialists.

Exchanging business cards could be a valuable way for those in the know to find collaborators on future projects - but with so many creative individuals vying for attention, you will want to ensure yours stand out from the crowd.

At any networking event, a memorable business card is one of the most important tools you can have. Creative professionals may wish to include photographs on their cards - perhaps a video still for a director or a headshot for an actor - or a quick response code that directs to their online showreel.

Printing your cards on 100 per cent recycled paper is another great way to stand out - eco business cards suggest an image of credibility and provide subtle reassurance of your green credentials.
