Multi-Channel Marketing to Build an Authentic Brand and Thriving Business

Do you have a brand you're passionate about but haven’t quite nailed the marketing tactics to help it grow? This class is designed to equip small business owners with a clear framework and practical tools to market with purpose. You'll walk away with a stronger understanding of your brand identity and story, and learn how to use multiple marketing channels to build awareness, grow your customer base, and create sustainable, long-term growth. We’ll cover how to build a full-spectrum marketing strategy that leverages social media, email, events, in-person tactics, your website, and more. Marketing can feel intimidating, but it all starts with understanding what you have to offer, why you're offering it, and where to focus your energy for the most authentic impact. You don’t need to be a business owner to take this class—just bring your ideas and a willingness to build something meaningful.
