Dunn Marketing, Northeastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce to Offer Marketing Workshop Series for Region’s Small Businesses and Nonprofits
KILLINGLY, CT (March 21, 2025) – Dunn Marketing has partnered with the Northeastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce to offer a series of four marketing workshops designed specifically for small businesses and nonprofits in northeastern Connecticut. The 2025 “Strong and Simple Marketing Strategy” Workshop Series will take place at the Chamber’s headquarters at 210 Westcott Road in Killingly, with sessions scheduled for April 8, April 22, May 6, and May 20, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM.
The workshop series will cover essential marketing topics with fresh tips for 2025, including brand building, digital advertising, social media strategy, and content marketing—all presented through Dunn Marketing’s signature Empathy-Driven Brand Building™ approach.
“Through our work with organizations of all sizes, we recognized that small businesses and nonprofits in our region often struggle to access high-quality marketing guidance and support,” said Laura Dunn, Founder and CEO of Dunn Marketing. “These workshops are designed to equip smaller organizations with the same strategic marketing principles and practical tools we use with our larger clients, tailored to their specific needs and resources.”
Each two-hour workshop will provide participants with actionable marketing strategies and include a hands-on “try it” session. Workshops are priced at $25 each, or $80 for the entire series, making professional marketing guidance accessible to organizations with limited budgets.
“These workshops are just the beginning of our commitment to supporting small businesses and nonprofits in our community,” said Dunn Marketing VP, Client Services Marci Seney. “Following the workshop series, we’ll be launching small business marketing packages that will make the high-quality marketing services we offer to larger businesses and organizations more accessible to these smaller organizations that form the backbone of our local economy.”
The Northeastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce is enthusiastic about hosting the series.
“The Chamber’s mission is to provide a wide variety of supports like this to help area businesses grow and succeed,” said Elle-Jordyn Sherman, Executive Director of the Northeastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce. “By partnering with local experts like Dunn Marketing, we can offer valuable resources that address the specific challenges faced by businesses in our region, ultimately helping the entire community to flourish.”
