NEW SERVICE: The In-House Workshop, Opening New Doors of Attraction

Inspired by bookings later this month in New Zealand (see below), Jon Leland is now offering a new service and is making himself available in a new way to help companies and organizations of all sizes to invigorate their social media marketing mix. The service is called an “In-house Workshop” (usually three hours).

In this customized session, Jon will help your team assess your Internet marketing efforts, educate your staff, and make expert recommendations in a interactive forum created exclusively for your team. These events leverage Jon’s seasoned marketing savvy, his educational presentation materials, and our new “Internet Marketing Inventory” planning process. Please contact us for details and bring Jon "in-house" now for your organization.
