Marketing is Not What It Was
The next Small Town Creatives is at 6pm, May 14th at The Circuit in Woodstock.
The digital landscape has fundamentally shifted, and the way your audience finds you has changed drastically. In an era where research journeys often end on Google rather than beginning there, businesses must adapt to a new reality of "zero-click" searches and complex attribution.
Join us for a session that explores why staying "top of mind" is the new key to conversions. We will dive into the shifting influence of big platforms, from social media to AI-driven traffic from ChatGPT and Gemini, and discuss why building a notable brand outside of traditional search is more critical than ever. Learn how to show up where your customers are so they can eventually find you where you are.
More Details Coming Soon.
