Online
Facilitated by Virginia SBDC
Topic: Marketing and Sales

To many craft beverage producers, PR seems like the exclusive province of the big multinationals, beyond the grasp of the typical independent company. But there are many cost-effective ways to engage the public in meaningful ways that contribute to the bottom line.

In this webinar, Craft Beverage Assistance Manager Chris Van Orden will ask Courtney Sandora, Owner of Go Social, about the tools and strategies available to small- and medium-sized producers looking to connect with their target audience - including optimization for AI searches and the best way to leverage influencers.

Speaker: Courtney Sandora is the Owner of Go Social, a PR and marketing firm with strong roots in the food and beverage industry. Having worked directly at Brown-Forman in Louisville and with Beam, Sazerac and Pernod Ricard through New York and Chicago agencies, Courtney has a knack for knowing what matters most to businesses.

A confirmation email with the Zoom login information will be sent after registration - a day before before the event - please be on the lookout for it.
