Topic: Marketing for Professional Services

Join Lynda Schenk and Amanda Sachse from Purple Giraffe, for a practical session on marketing for professional services; where selling expertise requires a very different approach to selling products. We’ll unpack why trust, reputation, and relationships matter more than flashy tactics, and how to clearly define your ideal client and value proposition. You’ll walk away with proven strategies across branding, thought leadership, client storytelling, referral networks, and smart use of AI tools. Just as importantly, we’ll cover the common pitfalls to avoid, so your marketing builds credibility, not risk.
