Let's face it, even before this crisis, marketing was never easy, especially for SMBs and Entrepreneurs who often have limited internal resources to dedicate to marketing. In the Pre-pandemic world, marketing tasks could easily get pushed to the side as more pressing matters take priority. After all, the economy was booming, and many businesses saw record growth even without extensive marketing plans. 

Today we are presented with a very different reality. With shutdowns or slowdowns affecting a majority of business managers, owners, and entrepreneurs are trying to navigate this new world while trying to figure out where their new priorities should lie.

Join us as Growth Strategist Drew Donaldson walks us through the new marketing playbook for the post-pandemic era and how every business can use this time to build a launchpad for growth.
