Lunch & Learn: Telling Your Story and Building Your Brand through Advertising

Now more than ever, customers are looking to connect with local brands and businesses they can trust. This goes beyond sharing a sale or promotion that is running, it goes to a more basic level of humanizing your business. Sharing your story, your people, the safety precautions they can expect when working with you and more.

Member The Cedar Rapids Gazette’s Bryan Busch and Amy McKelvy will share best practices and ideas on how to share your message and educate your audience through your content and advertising placement.

RSVP to Karyl or Michelle by Tuesday, Dec. 15 at 5 p.m. for a Zoom link to this online event.
