It has never been easier for businesses to put themselves out there.
About this Event
WHY DO GOOD BUSINESSES GET IGNORED?
More posts. More content. More noise.
It’s never been easier to create content. Social media gives everyone a platform, and AI makes it possible to create more, faster.
So why is it getting harder to stand out?
Join us for the next CBN Business & Brews featuring Theresa Goodwin, Founder & CEO of Boldthink, as she presents:
The Brand Disconnect: Why Good Businesses Get Ignored
Businesses are creating and communicating more than ever before—but more content doesn’t necessarily make a business more memorable.
Theresa will explore why even good businesses can disappear into a sea of sameness, why the value you deliver isn’t always the value customers see, and what it really takes to give people a reason to:
Notice you. Remember you. Choose you.
Because standing out isn’t about being louder.
It’s about making your value impossible to miss.
What You’ll Take Away
During this engaging session, you’ll explore:
- Why creating more content doesn’t necessarily create more visibility
- How businesses unintentionally blend in with their competitors
- Why the value you provide may not be the value your customers perceive
- What makes a brand memorable in an increasingly crowded marketplace
- How greater brand clarity can help customers understand why they should choose you
No marketing background is required. Whether you’re leading a business, building a company, managing a team, or working to grow your organization, you’ll leave with ideas you can put to work.
