Workshops

Grow your Business with a Marketing Expert

THURS JUNE 5 | 10 AM-NOON | Northville

Struggling to bring new customers to your business? Don't want to spend time on ineffective growth tactics when you're already doing so much? Repeat customers not returning as often as you want?

In this workshop, you’ll learn the same customer-attracting & sales-driving strategies I’ve used to generate over $100M in revenue for top brands like Quince, Hims & Hers, and Nom Nom.

I'll teach you the tactics I use and work with you to customize them for your business.

You’ll walk away knowing exactly which marketing activities are worth your time and money - and which ones to stop wasting energy on.

I call it the Smart Growth Sprint because I'm going to teach you concepts quickly, adapt each one to your business, and create an 8-week sprint for growth that you can use over and over again.

I'm capping this class at a very low number of participants to maximize the effect for those who attend. My schedule doesn't allow for another in-person class anytime soon, so don't miss your chance.

Workshop Agenda

Thursday, June 5 - 10am-Noon

1. Building Your Growth Foundation

Lay the groundwork for consistent, sustainable growth. Learn how to identify your best opportunities, map your customer journey, and avoid common mistakes that waste time and money.

2. Secrets to Winning Creative

Not all content is created equal. Discover what kind of creative actually drives results—and how to create it efficiently, even without a full team or big budget.

3. Mastering Social Media for Growth

Ditch the guesswork and overwhelm. Learn which platforms are worth your time, what kind of posts convert followers to customers, and how to show up consistently without burning out.

4. Websites That Work

Turn more visitors into customers. You’ll learn simple, high-impact tweaks that make your site (or landing page) work harder—whether you're selling products or booking appointments.

5. From Workshop to Wolfpack (Optional)

Wrap up the workshop with good food and great company! Join us for lunch at Lucy & the Wolf right after the workshop to keep the conversation going. It’s a chance to connect with fellow business owners, share ideas, and enjoy Lucy’s incredible menu. (Lunch not included in workshop price.)

FAQs

Why is an industry-leading expert teaching small businesses locally?

Small businesses are at the heart of strong, vibrant communities. Colleen's preference is to split her time between supporting high-growth startups across the country and sharing that same industry-leading expertise with the small businesses that shape local communities.

How much does it cost?

The cost is $275 for the two-hour workshop. Join us for lunch afterwards (price not included) to maximize the time getting your toughest marketing questions answered.

My business is (fill in the blank). Is this useful for me?

Yes! The marketing and growth fundamentals we'll cover are relevant for every kind of business. Plus we're keeping the class small enough so that Colleen can spend time helping to customize the strategies just for you. If you take the class and somehow can't use any of the material, we'll refund your purchase, no questions asked.

I do not want to use social media in any way for my business. Should I still take this class?

Even without using the social media strategies, this class can help you grow your business. We will spend a portion of the class specifically discussing social media tactics, but you are free to use that time working on other aspects of your 8-week growth roadmap. Be warned - though - you might find the social media tactics so compelling (and easy to implement) that you'll change your perspective.

Risk-Free Guarantee

If you attend the workshop and don't identify strategies that will give you a ROI, simply reach out within 14 days for a full refund. Your feedback will help improve outcomes for others.
