Listen in to our thought-provoking conversation as we discuss how small business marketing is shifting through the pandemic. We talked about marketing, what was working pre-Covid, what is working now, the mistakes business owners and brands are making and the things that these savvy marketers are doing to help their clients get better business results while also becoming a force for good in the world. This was such a lively and rich conversation, jam packed full of marketing insights that can give you more freedom, and actionable things you can do to stay authentic and resonant in these uncertain times. Yes, people are still marketing and selling in these uncertain times!!! (which means you can too if you follow the advice of our roundtable guests). A huge, heartfelt thank you to my guests!
