Why you should attend:
NETWORKING + PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

It is a massive challenge for any business operator to handle their marketing well.  Too often we use the shotgun approach by trying whatever is in front of us or spending small portions of our budget on too many diluted strategies.  In this workshop, Chris Bates, CEO of AgoraEversole, a 12-team member marketing agency in Jackson, will help you to wisely become more intentional about your marketing with a focus on results. 

You will get help with evaluating your marketing spend, positioning, goal sets, and strategies, and will walk away with a written outline of how to elevate your business with better marketing.
