Being seen and heard in an ever-growing digital events landscape can be a challenge. The owner of Clarise Fearn Creative Wellness, Clarise Fearn, took us up on overcoming that challenge by taking part in our digital marketing programming. Clarise is both an artist and a brick and mortar business owner who shares the gift of art making in a safe space through her guided and open studio events. Even though she anecdotally knew the value of making art in a group setting from her happy customers, she needed to hone in on who to include in her targeted outreach efforts to ensure that more people who share those values were finding her events. Persona mapping is just one of the tools in the digital marketing toolkit our industry-leading instructors present for learners to develop effective marketing strategies and reach audiences that want to connect with them. The overall program focuses on project-based learning, equipping you with essential skills in project management, web management, and digital marketing frameworks. Our learners work with practicing professionals who understand what it takes to grow brands and achieve career goals in today’s digital landscape. Apply today and connect with a network that will help you overcome your marketing challenges https://tr.ee/-sAE1idvEt
