TheLab ~ From Fashion to Hospitality: What 20 Years in Fashion Taught Me About Building a Brand

✨ THE LAB at CoastLab ✨

Join us for a morning of networking with local business owners and a practical conversation on building a brand, led by Natalia from Romeo Panetteria.

What Natalia will discuss:

• Changing industries & transferring skills: what Natalia brought from a 20-year career in fashion into building a bakery

• What fashion taught Natalia about building a strong brand, and why those lessons translate to hospitality/any industry

• Building a memorable brand on a small-business budget - practical lessons from building Romeo Panetteria

Followed by an open Q&A to dive into your own questions and challenges.

Expect honest insights, relatable examples, and simple takeaways you can apply to your own business. This conversation is perfect for small-business owners, founders and anyone who knows they should be doing more with their brand but doesn't have a massive marketing team (or budget) behind them.
