Recession-Proof Your Marketing Workshop

Smart, Strategic Marketing for Uncertain Times

A half-day workshop to help B2B and enterprise marketers reduce waste, refocus efforts, and build a more resilient marketing engine.

Is your marketing strategy built to thrive—even in a downturn?

In times of uncertainty, the old playbook doesn’t cut it. Budgets shrink. Buyer behavior shifts. Leadership demands faster ROI and clearer results.

This workshop is your chance to step back, take stock, and rebuild your marketing approach for resilience and impact.

You’ll walk away with actionable insights, new tools, and clear priorities for what to do more of, do less of, start, or stop—all based on your real data, audience, and goals.
