Events

Most of our seminar events are held in Nashville at the Frist Center for the Arts, though occassionally we'll hold one in another location. Each of our 9 seminars is held just once per year.

Webinars are scheduled through GoToWebinar and are typically 30-45 minutes long, with 15 minutes of Q/A. Those, obviously, can be attended from anywhere.

Upcoming Events

Event - Recent Changes in Marketing Your Firm for AIGA's GAIN Conference

For the last four decades, the marketing process has merely been tweaked (other than the entry of search firms and the power hungry procurement departments). As a result, we've fallen back on silly things like chemistry, empty "full service" promises, faux process, elaborate cold-calling programs, and just responding to as many RFPs as we can, accepting referrals from people who still have us in a box, and lowering the bar just to keep busy and feed the machine. No more. Marketing has moved from push to pull, but only if you use the right methods. We'll leave these two hours with a short-term and a long-term marketing plan for each of you, developed specifically for your situation. AIGA's GAIN conference. San Francisco.
