If you're a startup or entrepreneurial company, great marketing is pivotal to your success. But great marketing starts with you - your vision, your goals, your dream. Join our bootcamp and get clear about where you're headed and what kind of strategies it will take to get there. We use a custom designed process built on over 25 years of marketing experience and a passion for collaboration.

• Deep understanding of your company "why"
• Clarity about the customer problem you are solving
• Three-year business roadmap to help you plan your marketing strategies
• Understanding of how brands are built and used to create a customer experience

• Detailed understanding of your company's brand values & promise
• Clarity about the specific type of customers or clients you need to target
• Development of customized branding and marketing strategies
• Professional insight and collaborative feedback

The workshop pairs you with 2-3 other entrepreneurs or companies. This collaborative format is very intentional. It’s actually the magic that makes startup unlike anything else out there. The diversity of industry, life experience and business knowledge in the room not only leads to great conversations, but also provides the valuable perspective your business needs.

The bootcamp includes 15 hours of facilitated, collaborative time at WORKUP - our coworking space that is designed to inspire. There will also be homework between session and meals provided, plus all of the coffee you can drink!

Staying true to our mission, we offer tiered pricing and scholarships designed to be most affordable for bootstrapping entrepreneurs. But whether your company is just under two years or just under two decades, the value of this workshop to your business is exponentially higher than your cost to attend. Trust us on this.
