Marketing always seems to be the first thing pushed to the bottom of the to-do list. Then suddenly, you’re scrambling to post something just to stay active.

Join us for Modern Marketing for Small Businesses, led by Conductor Marketing and Communications Manager Kate Loughridge, for a look at how to build a marketing process you can actually keep up with.

Kate will break down how she plans content ahead of time, organizes ideas, creates with intention, tracks the metrics that actually matter, and uses performance data to adjust strategy along the way. You’ll also get a look at the tools she uses to make planning, creating, scheduling, and managing content easier.

If you want to spend less time scrambling and more time creating content that actually connects with your audience, this workshop is for you. Register today! https://luma.com/b3qpw3us

As I sit here working at the hub today, thinking about all the great things we can accomplish right here in our community, I want to give a shout out to all the big dreamers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners out there making it happen! Wishing everyone a restful day before we jump back into a busy week.
