Event Description

Turn influencers into your best marketing asset - without a big-brand budget. 

Influencer mark  isn't just for global brands. It's one of the fastest, most cost-effective ways for micro and small businesses to build credibility, reach new audiences and drive sales - if you know how to do it well.

In this practical, interactive workshop, award-winning PR and marketing strategist Rachel Hargrave shows small business owners and entrepreneurs exactly how to find, approach and work with influencers - from nano and micro-influencers to bigger names - without needing a big-brand budget or an in-house marketing team.

What attendees will walk away with
- A clear, strategic influencer plan tailored to your business
- Confidence in choosing and approaching the right influencers for your brand
- A practical understanding of budgets, briefs and campaign types
- Real case studies from solopreneurs and small businesses delivering real results

Who this workshop is for
Micro and small business owners, solopreneurs and entrepreneurs who want to grow their brand through influencer partnerships. No prior marketing or PR experience required.
