Why The Boot Camp?
Digital marketing is a primary key to the success of any business, large or small. It is especially important if budgets and time are tight. Most small businesses are too busy doing what they do well to make much time for marketing. The boot camp shows you how to have a big impact in an hour or two a week, on zero or very low budgets!
Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube… Which platforms will give you better viral potential? How do you know which to use, and how to get the most out of them?
And the keys to great Google ranking are rather different today from what they were a year or two ago. It’s easy to do well if you know how to work the system. The Britefire boot camp will teach you the hints, tips, and inside secrets so you can get a lot more impact in a lot less time.
Who Should Attend?
The 101 boot camp is designed for entrepreneurs, owners, managers or marketers in small-medium businesses, NGOs or start-ups. You will have some rudimentary experience with your own website and with social media (perhaps as a personal user), but you are far from comfortable with using the tools for business.
This is not an expert-level workshop. It is designed for non-technical non-experts who want to gain competence and confidence, in order to grow their own business. This is a practical hands-on experience which will change your business in just three days.
“An eye-opening workshop packed with practical examples of how to utilize social media. Can’t wait to explore and engage more with our audience! Thank you!!”
Sibongile Khulu, Reach For a Dream
