Welcome To The Latest From 9H
Summer's winding down and as usual, things are picking back up fast. This issue is a bit of a mixed bag, in a great way. There's a funding window worth acting on before it closes, a few honest words from our CEO on the cost of standing still, a free resource to help you act on it, and your first look at Software Like Pizza, our live AI demo event landing on 25 September. Ten minutes well spent.
Software Like Pizza, Our Live AI Demo Event
Mark 7th October. Software Like Pizza is our live event built around real business pain points, where we show rather than tell how AI and automation can actually save you time. Expect hands on demos, straight talk, and yes, pizza. Seats are limited, so it's worth grabbing yours now.

We Led the Victoria's Secret Opening Event
When Victoria’s Secret opened its first-ever store in Malta, we helped make sure it arrived with impact. 9H led the launch across event branding and organisation, influencer and PR management, media buying and on-the-ground coordination. From managing every detail behind the scenes to delivering activations across the island, including a fully branded Victoria’s Secret bus, we helped turn the opening into a moment people wanted to be part of.
The result? One of the largest queues Malta has seen for a retail opening, widespread social media buzz and PR coverage that took the launch far beyond the store doors.

First Come, First Funded
We're Accredited for Government & EU Funding
Worth keeping front of mind: 9H is registered to manage Government and EU funded campaigns, including Malta's Digitalise Your SME scheme (Call 2), now offering up to €235,400 per business, €128,400 as a base digitalisation grant plus up to €107,000 for AI related components. Next cut off is September 18, with further dates through to mid December. If funding, automation, or digital transformation is on your mind, this is a natural thread to pull. We scope, apply, and deliver end to end. Talk to us before the next cut off.

The Real Hidden Cost of Doing Things the Old Way
Our CEO Tim Buttigieg has a new op-ed out, on the cost businesses pay for staying the same. He breaks down why two hours a day of manual admin adds up to three months of salary a year, why good staff leave roles that stop using their judgement, and why the businesses actually getting ahead right now aren't overhauling everything at once, they're just fixing the one process that costs them time every week. Worth a read if you've ever suspected your team's habits are quietly costing more than anyone's bothered to add up.

Free resource: AI Marketing Automation Playbook
As a HubSpot partner, we get early access to some of their best resources, and this one felt worth sharing given everything we've been talking about this issue. It's a practical, step by step guide to cutting the manual work out of marketing, from automating repetitive campaign tasks to using AI to engage customers at scale and make faster, better informed decisions. If Tim's op-ed on the cost of sticking with the old way struck a nerve, this is a good next step, less theory, more of a working playbook you can actually apply.

One Question Worth Asking
Every business we work with had a starting point, a funding scheme, a conversation, a small fix that saved real time. What's yours going to be?
Want To Go Deeper?
At 9H, we help brands turn open moments, funding windows, honest conversations, into systems that keep working long after the moment passes.

Welcome To The Latest From 9H
Summer's winding down and as usual, things are picking back up fast. This issue is a bit of a mixed bag, in a great way. There's a funding window worth acting on before it closes, a few honest words from our CEO on the cost of standing still, a free resource to help you act on it, and your first look at Software Like Pizza, our live AI demo event landing on 25 September. Ten minutes well spent.
Software Like Pizza, Our Live AI Demo Event
Mark 7th October. Software Like Pizza is our live event built around real business pain points, where we show rather than tell how AI and automation can actually save you time. Expect hands on demos, straight talk, and yes, pizza. Seats are limited, so it's worth grabbing yours now.
SAVE YOUR SPOT
We Led the Victoria's Secret Opening Event
When Victoria’s Secret opened its first-ever store in Malta, we helped make sure it arrived with impact. 9H led the launch across event branding and organisation, influencer and PR management, media buying and on-the-ground coordination. From managing every detail behind the scenes to delivering activations across the island, including a fully branded Victoria’s Secret bus, we helped turn the opening into a moment people wanted to be part of.
The result? One of the largest queues Malta has seen for a retail opening, widespread social media buzz and PR coverage that took the launch far beyond the store doors.

The Real Hidden Cost of Doing Things the Old Way
Our CEO Tim Buttigieg has a new op-ed out, on the cost businesses pay for staying the same. He breaks down why two hours a day of manual admin adds up to three months of salary a year, why good staff leave roles that stop using their judgement, and why the businesses actually getting ahead right now aren't overhauling everything at once, they're just fixing the one process that costs them time every week. Worth a read if you've ever suspected your team's habits are quietly costing more than anyone's bothered to add up.

Free resource: AI Marketing Automation Playbook
As a HubSpot partner, we get early access to some of their best resources, and this one felt worth sharing given everything we've been talking about this issue. It's a practical, step by step guide to cutting the manual work out of marketing, from automating repetitive campaign tasks to using AI to engage customers at scale and make faster, better informed decisions. If Tim's op-ed on the cost of sticking with the old way struck a nerve, this is a good next step, less theory, more of a working playbook you can actually apply.

One Question Worth Asking
Every business we work with had a starting point, a funding scheme, a conversation, a small fix that saved real time. What's yours going to be?
