BRANDING HERO

MARCH 2021

THIS MONTH'S THEME: BRANDING HERO

As an entrepreneur, your personal brand becomes part of your business’s identity. A founder’s personal brand is on display at every meeting, phone call, Tweet, or Linkedin connection with prospective investors, talent, and clients. Anyone with a smartphone can create a ‘brand,’ but the most successful startups and small businesses incorporate their values and purpose into every aspect of their messaging and marketing. In March, we’ll cover digital media content creation, marketing, online engagement metrics, and ways to become a branding hero.

Our virtual events and curated resources will help you:

  • Gain tools to improve your personal brand and online presence
  • Create engaging content that is purpose-driven
  • Learn how to analyze your digital marketing performance
  • Build your marketing plan and strategy for the rest of the year
