TL; DR

What It Is: A 10-part workshop series for small business owners to master marketing and grow their business.

Who It’s For: Entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and small business owners who want to build a sustainable marketing strategy.

Why It Matters For Your Business: Clear branding and marketing strategies are critical for business success, and these workshops will provide practical tools and actionable steps.

What You’ll Get: A customised roadmap, strategies for branding, content creation, digital marketing, and analytics, plus networking opportunities with other like-minded business owners.

Your marketing journey, mapped out: From overwhelm to clarity.

Marketing is vital for small businesses because it helps clearly define your value, build authentic connections with your audience, and create sustainable growth- ensuring your passion translates into lasting success.

Understanding the marketing your business needs to undertake doesn’t have to be chaotic or overwhelming. My goal is to streamline the process, helping you align your efforts and turn them into a unified, effective strategy.

By the end of this series, you’ll have the confidence, tools, and plan to bring your vision to life AND achieve your goals with clarity and purpose. The workshops are designed to move participants along the marketing journey so they can walk away with a complete marketing strategy, but they can also work as individual workshops if there are specific issues that you would like to dive deeper into.

Just like tools in a toolbox, the skills and tools you'll learn in each workshop are effective alone, but provide a complete solution when combined with other workshops.
