Socially Shared’s partnership, led by Karen Heap and Abbi Hoxleigh, MCIPR owner of Little PR Rock Marketing Limited, is driven by their shared dedication to supporting women in business. By joining forces, their goal is to shine a spotlight on the outstanding accomplishments and triumphs of women entrepreneurs throughout their mutual business network and beyond. Socially Shared currently operates across Warwickshire, West Midlands, Leicestershire and Staffordshire and will expand into Northamptonshire later this year. The headline event of the year, the network’s 'Women in Business Conference', recognised and respected as a critical event in the Midlands region which attracts women from across the area.

Karen Heap, Founder of Socially Shared, explains, "At Socially Shared, we firmly believe that collaboration holds the key to unlocking the true potential of women in business which creates collective success.

Together we can benefit from the cross-promotion and access previously untapped markets, expanding our reach and unlocking new opportunities."

Abbi Hoxleigh, MCIPR owner of Little PR Rock Marketing, expresses her enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "Together, we can achieve far more than we could alone. Socially Shared and Little PR Rock Marketing’s extensive business network will benefit from our collaborative problem-solving, as we find innovative solutions to challenges we may not have been able to address individually. This partnership empowers us as women in business through enhanced exposure, expanded networks, and increased opportunities for growth and development. By combining our skills and resources, we can create a powerful platform to empower and showcase the incredible talents of women in business. Our collaboration will amplify their voices, inspire others, and foster a culture of collaboration and support within the industry."
