Last Friday, we were excited to have Fox 8's Gabe Spiegel as our featured speaker at the "Media Marketing That Works" luncheon. Known as a trusted news anchor, Gabe also shared insights from his role as CEO of a media marketing company. He offered practical tips on how to market your business through media—from boosting visibility to building a strong brand—with smart, sustainable strategies for intentional, profitable growth.

A big shout out to Schnitz Ale Brewery for providing the delicious lunch and to Cox Communications for sponsoring and hosting the event. We couldn't have done it without you!
