Workshop: Stop Seeing What Sticks: Get Your Marketing Strategy Working for Your Business Goals

Led by Amelia Laidlaw and Larissa Peck, Co-Founders of Tandem Collaborative

With endless options for marketing your business, it’s hard to know where to invest your resources to make sales — and we know small business owners are always looking to be savvy with their resources.

In this 45-minute, interactive workshop for small business owners, you’ll begin to piece together a marketing strategy informed by:

  • your business goals 
  • your brand 
  • the tools available to you 

By pinpointing and connecting these three areas of your business, you’ll walk away with a clearer idea of how to market more efficiently and effectively.
