Take Back Local

JOIN US at the Statesville Civic Center on Monday, February 20, 2023 from 8:30am-5pm for Statesville's inaugural Marketing Conference - Take Back Local!  This event will feature hands on training by Brian Ostrovsky. 

Brian is the founder and CEO of Locable as well as the author of “Marketing 3-4-5™: The Business Owner's Guide to Effective Local Marketing in 15-Minutes or Less.” He grew up in the small Gold Rush town of Placerville, CA, which has a quintessential Main Street, and saw how important community is to the people who live there and has been dedicated to helping it thrive in the face of whatever challenges arise. Brian has taught Marketing 3-4-5™ to thousands of small businesses with dozens of local workshops with Main Streets and state programs around the US - including a 27-month cross-country tour.  We are excited that his travels have brought him to Statesville, NC to provide us with hands on training that you won't want to miss.
