| We’re excited to announce a new January Marketing Workshop Series designed to support small businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs who want practical, approachable marketing guidance they can actually use. Marketing is one of the most common areas where business owners feel stretched thin. Many know it’s important, but aren’t sure where to focus, what tools are worth their time, or how to build consistency without adding more to their plate. This workshop series was created to help remove that uncertainty and provide clear direction. Mission West Community Development Partners is partnering with Celtic Winter Digital Marketing to offer a three-part online workshop series focused on real-world marketing challenges. Each session builds on the last, but participants are welcome to attend a single workshop or the full series. All workshops are held online at 11:00 AM MST, making it easy to participate from anywhere.
