Link to register: https://www.herplacefoundation.com/event-details/herplace-the-brand-labTired of posting and hoping for the best?
You know you need to show up on social media. You know content is how you grow your business. But between the overthinking, the overwhelm, and the "what do I even post?" paralysis, you're stuck in a cycle of inconsistency.
You've tried:
Winging it (and running out of ideas by Tuesday)
Posting what's popular (but it doesn't feel like YOU)
Spending hours creating content that flops
Investing in courses you never finish
What if there was a better way?
Welcome to The Brand Lab
This isn't another workshop where you take notes and figure it out later. This is where strategy meets execution. Where you walk in overwhelmed and walk out with a content library that will serve your business for months.

The formula is simple:
Proven Social Media Strategy +
Elevated Brand Presence +
Guided Content Creation +
Community + City Resources = A Visible, Booked-Out Business
In one power-packed day, you'll learn the systems, create the content, connect with women who are just as serious about their business as you are, AND discover resources available to you through the City of Colorado Springs.
