In order to get attention, we need to be that that smiling face in the crowd! Tune in to hear a lively discussion between myself and Laura Beauparlant filled with tips on how to brand your business and grow your following on social media. Laura Beauparlant of Lab Creative talks about her strategies for branding small business. She explains how every journey is different and filled with so many things, that it’s never static. Through her own journey, Laura has found her voice, and she has honed how to attract the right client. Her mission? To make branding and design accessible to every business owner; to be value packed and affordable.
