You’ll then hear from Jennifer Heuett who’s the owner of The Small Wins Company. Having helped hundreds of small businesses grow their online presence through social media, Jennifer will talk about how you can use social media in a way that works for your startup.

Last but not least, Placecasting Limited’s Kris Herbert will talk about how to harness your startup journey into a content marketing strategy. Through her brand and marketing agency, Creative Agent, Kris has helped businesses of all scales develop their brand story and leverage the power of authentic storytelling to get attention and build trust with audiences.
