Think Bigger, Work Smarter

When you think about your marketing goals and outreach to support those objectives, are you stringing together tactics or solving a broader problem? Don’t just create a new piece of marketing collateral. Don’t just do SEO because it came up in a meeting. Yes, these are part of the plan, but without a broader strategy, you are just piecing together tactics and growing your “to-do” list.  You’ve heard the phrase work smarter, not harder? It’s not a cliché. It’s a strategy that frees up time, generates results, and saves money.

What's On The Agenda?
Among the benefits (and yummy lunch) join us to:
  • Ensure that your daily marketing activities achieve your goals
  • Learn Techniques You Can Employ to minimize revisions and constant meetings about tactics
  • See examples of companies/brands employing this Strategy

She and I are currently employing strategies presented during their employment branding segment. Cushing is not only a gracious host; their program is relevant and practical.”
