How to Build a Brand People Trust, Remember & Buy From. A Real Talk Panel on Branding, Social Media & Emotional Connection
About this Event

Join us for an intimate Real Talk Panel on Branding, Social Media & Emotional Connection

In a world of constant content, algorithms, and noise… the brands that win aren’t the loudest. They’re the ones people feel something about.

Join us at JAC Digital Media for an intimate, high-impact panel conversation on what it actually takes to build a brand that connects, converts, and lasts.

This is not a “how to use Instagram” workshop. This is a behind-the-scenes conversation with experts in social strategy, video, marketing, and PR about what’s really working right now — and what’s quietly killing brands.

Calling All Small Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, Creatives, Service Providers, Coaches & wellness professionals. Anyone building a personal or business brand who is tired of shouting into the void. Don't miss the evening of impactful insights.

We’ll be diving into:

  • Why emotional connection is the most powerful marketing tool in 2026
  • How to show up authentically on camera without being awkward, fake, or salesy
  • What actually makes a brand memorable (hint: it’s not aesthetics)
  • How social, video, PR, and strategy work together to build trust and authority
  • The biggest mistakes businesses are making online — and how to fix them
  • How to stand out in a saturated market without burning yourself out

You’ll hear honest perspectives, real examples, and actionable insights you can use immediately.

What’s included with your ticket:

  • Live panel discussion + audience Q&A
  • Snacks + non alcoholic drinks
  • Networking with like-minded business owners
  • Exclusive attendee discounts $250 + of VALUE


Panelists

Jordanna Cheifetz, Founder, JAC Digital Media

Courtney Spoiala- Videographer + Editor at JAC Digital

Kristen Lynch- Founder, Lead Her

Andrea Walker-Founder, Walker Publicity and Consulting


Whether you’re just starting or ready to elevate your brand, you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a whole new way of thinking about how you show up.
