NRV American Business Women's Association October Luncheon
Speaker: Grace Hurst
What does it actually mean to "influence" in a tight-knit community like the New River Valley?
In this session, Grace Hurst shares her journey from consumer to creator and how digital storytelling bridges the gap between local businesses and loyal customers.
You will learn the clear differences between content creation, paid ads, and genuine influencer partnerships and discover practical, actionable ways your business can leverage local voices to grow its organic reach.
