Hi,
I hope you had a fun July 1 extended holiday with family and friends. The LIZ has been busy, as you can see from the onboarding and new company announcements below. Our existing and Alumni companies continue to grow, with a few examples in this newsletter. Sasha is already busy with the Innovate UK recruiting, and there are more announcements coming soon. Here's to the not so lazy days of Summer.
All the best
Chris Bentley

1. What excites you most about the work you're doing? |
|
One of the perks I've come to appreciate working in marketing is learning more about the field you're in. At the LIZ, I have the opportunity to learn about the legal tech industry and all the companies associated with the LIZ incubation program, especially understanding how these innovative legal solutions are restructuring the legal services and the justice system. |
2. What's a typical day like working at the LIZ? |
|
That's the fun part about being at the LIZ, there is no "typical day." There are so many moving parts associated with all marketing campaigns and initiatives that every day is always something new and exciting. To narrow it down to a typical day, I have the opportunity to work on projects throughout their many stages, whether it's ideation, development, execution, optimizing operations, and community engagement with the LIZ audience. |
3. What’s a book, podcast, or resource that has influenced you the most? |
|
101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think, written by Brianna Wiest, proposes an interesting viewpoint on truths and perception, which influenced how I view any target audience in both my personal and professional life. Interpretations are subjective by various parties, so the takeaway of tailored communication greatly influences how I view anything from a casual conversation to a formally-toned social media post.
|
4. What's the best advice you’ve ever received? |
|
The best advice I've received came from my high school business teacher. She said, "Pretend to be confident until you are confident enough to stop pretending." Out of all the advice I've heard, it never fails to be reflected in both my personal and professional life. The value of perception and projecting confidence, organically or not, has a strong influence on reinforcing your self-belief, with the possibility to create opportunities. |
5. Share a fun fact about you! |
|
In 2023 I had the goal to create a social media account and have it go viral with over 1 million views. After launching it on January 1, 2024, I accomplished this goal within 9 months yayy! Now my 2025 goal is to work alongside publishing houses to promote books for authors. I've worked with companies from the Netherlands and the UK, and I can't wait to continue this! |
