CONNECT AT MAKERS AND CREATORS
Hello creative people! Makayla here. I want to see you at the next Makers & Creators Mixer on Friday, July 26 from 6 to 9 p.m.
You bring creativity.
We provide the space.
And, together, we’ll build creative community!
The Makers and Creators Mixer at Queen Park Social (94125 Yancey Rd) this month. It’s a time to connect, collaborate and build meaningful connections.
This time, we’re collaborating with Maker’s Mark and The Urban Design Center. And, I want to encourage you to come with your questions, knowledge and opportunities to collaborate. I want you to come ready to make new friends, allies and connections.
Inside Queen Park Social, I’m setting up special conversation zones to help you mix and mingle. Learn about the City’s Placemaking Program, how to participate in upcoming group shows, get hired or ask questions to some of your favorite groups and organizations. My biggest hope is that you leave with new information and collaborators … and, possibly, new work.
As always, the event will feature a DJ, incredible beverages, some competitions and … this time … a special live screen printing activation with MacFly Fresh Printing. We have 100 Maker’s Mark tote bags to customize with screen printing and markers. Anyone interested in connecting further with MacFly could be selected to create a line of clothing or accessories to be sold at their Camp North End location.
Want to attend? It’s simple. CLICK HERE and let me know you’re coming!
And, I hope you’ll join me and the Charlotte Is Creative team the Monday night after Makers & Creators for our next Power Panel. It’s free and designed to help you better promote and market your business.
POWER PANEL – Marketing Fundamentals
Monday, July 29 from 6 – 9 pm
Wray Ward (2317 Thrift Rd)
Sometimes as creatives, we can struggle with social media content. We overthink, we procrastinate and might not do it at all. That is why, we have asked industry professionals to answer your questions like:
- “Who is my target audience and how do I connect with them?”
- “How do I understand my competition and my industry?”
- “How are marketing, branding and promotions connected?”
- “Which should I focus on first?”
Our experts and breakout sessions (where you get to ask the questions YOU want) will explore three critical pillars:
- Marketing (how you think of yourself)
- Branding (what others think of you)
- Promotion/PR (how you act in public)
You will leave with a better understanding and actionable next steps to build a solid foundation for growing your creative business or organization. And, you’ll know some amazing people who may be able to help you on your journey as a creative entrepreneur.
The Power Panel is a multi-part event consisting of a panel discussion and breakout Q&A sessions with panel members. Take advantage of this special opportunity and time to get your questions answered and learn from local professionals! To register, click HERE.
We hope you will join us at these incredible opportunities to connect, learn and grow!
Creatively,
Makayla Binter
