Marketing 101
Hard times? Maybe. But let’s look at it from the bright side. We now have more time for ourselves- that extra time we kept asking for to develop new skills and learn new things. So…let’s take advantage of having some downtime and stay connected by sharing knowledge because knowledge is power. And that’s what we need to step up the game, win those clients we have been chasing, and hit those revenue goals that have been on our bucket list for quite awhile! I, of course, cannot give you one major secret sauce to cover your dreams, but I may be able to help show you the way to get there. So, join me every Thursday while I share some Marketing 101 that every business owner should know about. Let’s meet & dream!

More about this event.
As designers, we have the chance to bring beauty into the world. And that’s needed now, more than ever. The world is upside down. And we’re being bombarded with messaging. Some of it is good. Most of it not so good. But one thing remains true: your audience wants to hear from you. They need to hear from you.
This is your time to showcase your humanity and your expertise. You have the opportunity to help deliver vital messaging in a relevant and creative way. Communication is all we have right now. And you need to be using it.
In this presentation, you’ll hear from Danielle Hughes, a copywriting and branding expert, on how you can use your personality to connect with your clients and stand out from the clutter. On how being vulnerable and real will create stronger connections and affinity, and how knowing your brand and your audience makes messaging easier for you and more relatable for them.
About Danielle
Danielle Hughes is the Chief Personality Officer of More Than Words Marketing, a branding and copywriting consultancy. She helps people and the brands that target them to develop their Genuine Personality Brand, creating content that sounds like you and giving you space to truly be yourself in your messaging. And while she can’t pull a rabbit out of her hat, she can create and hone your brand message, engage your audience and deadlift you or your employees, but not at the same time. That’s just irresponsible. (Note: Danielle is available for office party tricks and accepts payment in bottles of Bordeaux.)

1 hour + Q&A
Members – Join the live webinar for FREE – as a benefit of membership.
Non-members – Save $15; register by April 15th.
Are you planning on creating a webcomic? Or do you want to increase the audience for you existing webcomic? The good news is that publishing has never been more accessible to artists, and that has given many folks the power to launch their own careers without gatekeepers. But (as comics fans know) that power comes with responsibility. In this case, building an audience and getting your book printed includes learning good social media strategies, crowdfunding like Patreon and Kickstarter, and business basics.
In this webinar, Brad will take you through the ins and outs of getting your comic, webcomic, or graphic novel in front of an audience, and how to grow and then leverage your following to meet – or surpass – your goals.
About the Presenter
Brad Guigar is considered by many to be a webcomics pioneer, having self-published his daily strips and other comics on the Web since February 2000. He has published over two dozen collections of his comics, and he is the author of three books on the subject of cartooning: The Everything Cartooning Book, How To Make Webcomics, and The Webcomics Handbook. He operates a daily tutorial-and-advice site, Webcomics.com, and he teaches Arts Entrepreneurship, Sequential Art, and Storytelling at both Hussian School of Art and The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. He records a weekly podcast with fellow cartoonist Dave Kellett called ComicLab that can be found wherever you get your podcasts.
