Start + Grow Your Business

Who can you count on to make you look good? Who do you rely on to make sure you’re saying the right things to the media? Who’s your on-demand stylist? Who’ll give you true and real-time information about what’s going on in your community and around the world?

Designing the right messages for businesses starts with good, old-fashioned planning and putting pen to paper. You can begin your champion diary, have one person coaching you through all of those tasks, or you hire an agency to get this handled. This workshop will coach you on how to go write before things go left.

After identifying the serviceable, obtainable, and addressable markets, this session will help you write out what an editorial calendar with a sales and promotions cycle could look like.
