Speaker: Kendra Aarhus, You Conferences
Topic Description: Entertainment Marketing

The future of marketing looks fun, light hearted, and connecting the generations through music. It's about making people smile, entertaining your audience, and leaving the stiff sales messages back in the 1900's. It can sound absolutely terrifying, but if you're not tapping into the truly simple (and practically done for you) messaging of reels and Tiktoks, you're missing out.

You Conferences CEO, Kendra Aarhus, will lead the discussion on how Entertainment Marketing is changing the way we shop, do business, and sell products and services. Our relationships with our customers have changed!

Let's talk and learn all about using Facebook and Instagram Reels, TikToks and YouTube Shorts to take your business to the next level.
