Entrepreneur Series: Building Your Online Presence: Content Marketing and Social Media for Small Business Success on a Shoestring Budget
New Grog Club
Calle de Hermosilla, 46, 28001 Madrid
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Join Lauren Aloise, of one of Madrid’s most successful small business owners, to learn to make the best of your online presence. Today’s world is a socially connected one and anyone who lives in denial is missing out on customers and profit. Social media can seem overwhelming, time consuming and like a lot of guess work– but it doesn’t have to be that way.
While big companies may have entire teams dedicated to content marketing and social media, small companies can compete too. The availability of free and low cost tools and education make building your online presence with very little investment possible and realistic.

With a laser focused strategy, your small company can stand out from the crowd and shine.
