Why We’re Exhibiting at this Week’s Portsmouth Business Expo

We’re attending this week’s B2B Expo and running a seminar (more details below), because we keep hearing the same frustrations from business owners and marketing leaders across Hampshire. They’re investing more time, energy and budget into digital than ever before, yet still questioning why competitors with a weaker service appear above them on Google, or why enquiries feel harder to influence and predict.

In most cases, the issue isn’t effort or ambition. It’s that digital marketing now shapes decisions across far more touchpoints than it used to, and the seminar is designed to unpack exactly how that shift affects growth, what still matters and how businesses can respond without wasting time or budget. Alongside the talk, our team will be on Stand 1 throughout the day, giving attendees the chance to speak with us directly about their own challenges, pressure-test what they’re currently doing and leave with clearer next steps tailored to their business.

During the Expo, boxChilli’s Growth Manager, Toby Drain, will be delivering a talk focused on how being “found online” has changed, and what that means in practical terms for businesses trying to grow sustainably. The session builds on how SEO, AI, paid media advertising, websites and social platforms now influence decisions together rather than in isolation, as well 5 actionable tips in how to get found online in 2026.

If you’d like a preview of the thinking behind the session, Toby has put together a longer article that explores these shifts in more depth and sets out how businesses can adapt as digital behaviour continues to evolve.

If you’re coming along to the Expo, we’d encourage you to stop by our stand to talk through challenges you’re facing around getting discovered online, sense-check what you’re being told by an agency or explore how the ideas from the talk apply to your own business, with practical and honest advice.
