Presented by Creative Plus Business with support from the City of Sydney.

Join us for the second exciting THRIVE CONNECT meetup event, Marketing Maestros. Reaching new audiences, and keeping our current ones engaged, is never-ending. Our second meetup brings together marketing experts Belinda Daly and Robbi James to talk about out-of-the-box ways that creative businesses can approach marketing. With a specific focus on finding new ways to market and promote ourselves, our work, and our businesses in a world where the impact of social media is changing, our guest speakers will be sharing innovative ways to spread the word about your work, and develop lasting relationships with clients and consumers.

THRIVE CONNECT events are a quarterly series of meaningful meetups that combine networking with skills development. Made for creative practitioners, artists, innovators, and small businesses, each event is hosted at hubs and venues across the Sydney CBD. Every meetup includes a guest speaker and theme, along with suggested conversation topics to make networking easier and connections more interesting.

Registration is FREE and every THRIVE CONNECT includes plenty of time for networking (nibbles included). Every attendee will also receive an invitation to the THRIVE Toolkit and THRIVE private LinkedIn group.

Venue: will be announced very soon
