Badass Creatives: A Marketing & Business Retreat for Multi-Passionate Creatives

Join New Orleans based Badass Creatives founder, Mallory Whitfield for a weekend retreat focused on building your creative business in a way that's aligned with YOUR personal goals & values, rather than what society says you SHOULD want.

This all-inclusive weekend retreat offers an opportunity to reconnect with your authentic self, cultivate your creative voice, and become more deliberate about the way you market your products and artistic creations to the world.

This retreat includes workshops on marketing and branding for multi-passionate creative business owners. You'll learn ways to market your business without social media, including how to leverage evergreen marketing channels like SEO, blogging, and Pinterest (it’s a search engine!). We'll also discuss email marketing plus local publicity & direct outreach to market your products and creative business.
