Celebrating Yorkshire Day 2019

By: Richard Michie

August 1st is of course Yorkshire Day! We celebrated this momentous day this year by asking the good and great of Yorkshire why they love working in the county. Each person had just one minute, some went a bit over but we forgive them, to speak to you in the no nonsense way you’d expect.

Yorkshire Day was a whirlwind for us as we as well as posting all the videos on social media with the #YORBIZTOUR hashtag, throughout the day, we also did some interviews and added them to the feeds. In case you missed any of the videos (what were you doing?) we’ve posted them all here, you can also see them all on The Marketing Optimist YouTube Channel.

The video received over 10,000 views across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

So in no particular order, enjoy our Yorkshire Day Celebration videos
