50. How To Work a Room + How To Market Your Business
Play • 32 min

Dawn Campbell has been my friend for, hmmm, let’s just say many years, and she is the epitome of an extrovert and social butterfly (although she begs to differ). Aside from her amazing social skills, Dawn is a program manager for local radio station in Florida and a marketing master. She has given me plenty of marketing advice during the years, and now I get the pleasure of having her share some of that advice with you.

Dawn shares some of the ways to spark conversation during social gatherings and also how to create a brief marketing pitch to prepare yourself for any situation. As a fellow creative, I understand the struggles of marketing content, but I also understand its importance to developing a successful business. I hope Dawn’s advice gives you a light-bulb moment or provides more tools for your marketing toolkit.
