Lunch & Learn | Dashboard Marketing

IGNITE Atlantic - New Glasgow 352 E River Rd, New Glasgow, Nova Scotia

About this event Why the %$#& do I need to worry about marketing? If you aren’t thinking about or planning to add marketing to your overarching strategy, your business will fail. If you’re executing marketing tactics without a strategy, your business will stall and stagnate. If you aren’t tracking and reacting to your marketing efforts, you’re wasting money. This workshop will be a no-nonsense discussion around marketing, and offer attendees a guideline to develop an effective, impactful, and results driven marketing strategy that can evolve with the growth of any business. We will dive into how important marketing is to the success of all areas of your organization; how it is ingrained in both acquisition and retention approaches; and how to recognize and react to both success and/or failure. We will explore 3 key components of any successful marketing strategy – brand, customer and category. Each extremely important, and something every organization needs to continually focus on.

Entrevestor Live: East Coast Startup Success

VOLTA 1800 Argyle Street #Unit 801, Halifax, NS

Entrevestor Live is a half-day hybrid event dedicated to the greatest successes in the Atlantic Canadian startup community. Dispelling the myth that #StartupAtlantic features only early-stage companies, Entrevestor Live showcases the growth-stage companies that have had major funding rounds, exits or gained a global presence. What’s more, our conference is designed to maximize the time and budget of our customers. Its three-hour duration means you can attend without surrendering a day or more of your precious time. (People in Halifax will still benefit from a networking session after the program.) And it’s priced so that even early-stage founders can attend, either in person in Halifax or online from anywhere. If you’re an investor, Entrevestor Live will show you what’s happening in Atlantic Canadian startups – in the most successful companies, those companies poised to join the top tier, and the emerging sectors. If you’re a founder, the program will help you understand how the best companies got where they are. Either way, this is a must-see event. We're delighted to partner with Volta, Canada's East Coast Innovation Hub, which has agreed to host Entrevestor Live. A networking session will follow the event at Volta.
