It all comes down to one thing: a scalable and hyper efficient marketing operating model. The problem? Most businesses don’t have one, let alone know they need one!

Do you identify with these challenges?

  • You’re doing well but find yourself stuck in a reactivity rut, without set marketing rituals

  • You have 101 projects on the backburner but lack the bandwidth to finish them off 

If this sounds like you, Retail Elevate 2023 may just be your breakthrough!

Who should attend?

If you’re looking to balance your effort Vs impact, scale your marketing and push beyond 7-8 figure growth then this practical workshop is for you!  
 
Your true readiness will rely (not strictly) on a number of things.

  • You’re a Founder still working in the business, or a marketing specialist in a Founder-led business

  • You’re 2+ years into your retail business with an annual turnover of $1 million+

  • Or, you’re a bricks and mortar retailer looking to make the shift or grow your online presence. 

 

Why Should You Attend?

  • You want to start working on the business, not in it

  • You’re caught in a cycle of reactivity, and desperately want to get more purposeful with your approach to team, marketing and customer experience strategy

  • You want to capture a complete bird’s eye view of your strategy to identify crucial opportunities for transformation

  • You’re struggling to attract, convert or retain quality customers.
