New Workshop Dates: March 2014


The first batch of 2014 Durban workshops are finally here. Hooray! Here are all the details:

Details:
The workshops are aimed at creative business owners in a variety of fields from photography and design to crafters or even bloggers. If you have your own business and want to learn and prosper, then the workshops are ideal for you. The topics range from social media to creative marketing ideas and there are two types of workshops – one for beginners and one for intermediates. The Beginner’s Workshops are ideal for business owners who would like to learn the basics. The Intermediate Workshops are for those who are in the industry and on the right track, but would perhaps like step it up a notch. 

The workshops started in Durban with sold out dates and an amazing array of creatives joining in. Last year I added Joburg to the list. All the past attendees have given wonderful reviews. Creatives who attend can look forward to a day of learning with practical examples and case studies of successful businesses and brands. The day is the ideal platform for networking within a creative environment. All the courses include a delicious lunch, snacks, a really lovely goodie bag and a host of giveaways from wonderful brands.

The workshops are currently being held in Durban. New dates for Johannesburg and Cape Town will follow. Email me to be added to the waiting list and be the first to know when bookings open or click here to view past workshops.
