SUMMARY:Marketing Meetup-What's Getting in the Way of Your Brand Story?
DESCRIPTION:If you've been in business in Grant County for any amount of time\, you know the work isn't the hard part. Showing up and telling people what you do clearly and confidently in a way that actually sounds like you can get complicated.\n\n \n\nHere's what I've noticed after 40 years in design: most of us get in the way of our own brand story. Fear of standing out in a community where everybody knows everybody. Loyalty to a version of the business that doesn't quite fit anymore. The feeling that saying who you really are sounds like bragging.\n\n \n\nThese are design problems. But they show up in every business decision you make.\n\nSometimes we just need a little design therapy to uncover the real story. GGC and Marion Design Co are hosting a free workshop specifically for business owners who are ready to stop hedging and start telling the story their business actually needs to tell.\n\n \n\nIt's an hour. It's free for members. And if you've ever stumbled through explaining what makes you different\,  it'll be worth your time.
