Show Notes
In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneurs Podcast, I speak with events entrepreneur and Founder of Your Entrepreneur Resources, Venese Lau.
When Venese moved to Japan after growing up in Australia, she attended as many events as she could to build her network and start to settle into Tokyo. She soon found herself promoting the events she was attending, and from there her events and marketing business was born.
Over time her business evolved to work with many businesses, brands and charities of all sizes. But when COVID hit, her business stopped overnight. Using the opportunity to investigate how she could serve other entrepreneurs during this challenging time, Venese launched a new business, a platform to help entrepreneurs find the right courses, tools and coaches to support their business growth, ensuring that they enjoy the best returns on the investment they make in themselves.
Listen to this episode to learn more about how events can be an important part of your marketing strategy, at every stage of your business, and how to make them work for your business.
I like to think of events as including ALL the experiences you create for your clients and audience, and keeping them personalised by focusing in on the emotions you want your brand to provoke in people. - Venese Lau
