Digital Marketing Speaker
Training, education and workshops for locally owned small businesses.
There are plenty of conferences, events and tradeshows focusing on digital marketing. All of them use Fortune 500 companies as prime examples of the latest and greatest in the digital marketing world. My goal is to approach digital marketing topics in a way that makes sense for locally owned, small organizations across Canada. Using proven examples, best practices and creative ideas my goal is to have participants walk away with actionable digital marketing steps that will improve their bottom line. If you think your organization, team or individual contributors would benefit from a workshop or speaking engagement please feel free to contact me directly!
