About this Event
Trying to build something meaningful—but tired of figuring it all out on your own?
You have ideas. You have motivation. But marketing can feel confusing, noisy, and overwhelming—and sometimes it’s hard to know what to focus on next. Enter Spark Series.
Spark Series brings together entrepreneurs, creatives, side hustlers, and small business owners for practical workshops and relaxed co-working sessions designed to help you move your ideas forward.
Workshops cover topics like brand strategy, marketing, AI tools, and content creation—while Spark Co-working Sessions offer dedicated co-working time to actually make progress on your business alongside other builders.
Whether you’re refining your message, launching something new, or just looking for a supportive community of people building something meaningful, Spark Series offers space to learn, connect, and build momentum.
Thursday May 7 Workshop: WTF Is Brand Strategy (Really)?
Brand strategy is often reduced to logos, colors, and taglines—but it’s much deeper than that.
In this interactive Spark Series workshop, we’ll explore what brand strategy actually means and how clarity around your values, positioning, and audience can shape the way you talk about and market your work.
Through a short presentation, small-group discussion, and guided reflection, you’ll begin to identify the core ideas that make your brand distinct—and why that clarity makes marketing so much easier.
You’ll leave with new perspective, a few practical prompts to explore, and connections with other entrepreneurs and builders navigating similar questions.
Saturday June 13 Workshop: How to Create Content That Cuts Through the Noise
Feeling the pressure to constantly produce content? Or maybe you struggle to reach the right people or communicate what makes your work unique.
In this Spark Series workshop, we’ll explore how to create content that feels more human, resonant, and aligned with the work you’re building. Instead of trying to keep up with the endless stream of marketing advice, we’ll focus on the foundations that help your content connect: clarity around your message, your audience, and the ideas that matter most to your work.
Through a short presentation, small-group discussion, and guided reflection, you’ll begin identifying the themes, stories, and perspectives that can make your content more meaningful—and more effective.
