It was a bitterly cold week in New Jersey leading up to the first-ever NJspots workshop, but that didn’t stop the hot topics and ideas from flowing at the Work Home space in Millburn, NJ on Saturday, February 2nd.
Joined by some of our passionate community members, Founder Virginia and Editor Abbey were pleased to host our first workshop teaching about the importance of branding and online presence for creators like photographers and entrepreneurs in New Jersey.
What Is an NJspots Workshop?
To start the day, Virginia and Abbey presented how branding is and should be perceived, as well as providing some insight on how NJspots brands itself and some helpful tools. The attendees found themselves instantly engaged and excited about how they execute these newly found tools and techniques into their own business and creative goals.
After a short break, the workshop broke down into two focus groups to discuss other challenges and offer solutions for new ideas for creating a brand. After a great 2-hour session, all our attendees were asking for more. The biggest request and complaint was that there wasn’t enough time, which is GREAT to know for next time. Everyone was hungry for more!
“The NJspots Team was excited to host and bring our first-ever workshop to the community. Talking about branding and online presence, our attendees were left wanting more.”
I want to go…
We will be hosting more workshops in the near future on various topics like
