BAH: Digital Marketing Thank You!
Thank you to the West End Ciderhouse for showing everyone such hospitality; to Ciro for providing the amazing complimentary appetizers; to Elevate Balloon Co. , who really impressed with an awesome balloon selfie backdrop; and to We Welcome LLC for providing drink tickets to our early registrants. And many thanks to our panelists – Polly Sumney from Hocking Valley Bank, Andrea Lewis from Ohio University, and Dylan Telerski from Stuart’s Opera House – who put on such an engaging, informative, and fun discussion of the ins and outs of digital marketing for business success.
Check out the recap from the night and view a gallery of pictures here!
