In this section, you will find articles that highlight my ongoing study of marketing.

In October 2007, I attended a two and a half day conference on marketing presented by Jill Sauter, developer of Marketing Accelerator Program (MAP). This intensive course opened a whole new understanding of what marketing is all about. The hours flew by as my mind converted this business model to fit with the business of running and promoting a choir and arts and non-profit groups. The course may have ended but my journey down this path had just begun.

Since then, I have taken many courses/workshops sponsored by New Media Manitoba and Arts and Culture Industries including:

• iWork 101 - Apple
• Google Adwords - presented by guru Perry Marshall
• Facebook Ads Fast Track - presented byDrew Bischof
• Video Podcasting - presented by Lloyd Hannesson
