SUMMARY:You Don’t Have to Dance on TikTok - Marketing that works for you and your audience
DESCRIPTION:Running a business is already a lot and now you have to think about marketing. \nOne person is telling you to post on socials every single day\, no matter what. Another says email is king. Someone else is talking the acronym soup of SEO\, AEO\, AIO (?!). And there’s others dancing on TikTok – so now you’re wondering if you should be too. \n(You don’t – unless you really want to\, of course.) \nThe issue is that most marketing efforts jump straight to the exciting stuff – the platforms\, the content\, the campaigns – before figuring out the foundations that make any of it work. \nIn this session\, Cerys Thompson (CT Communications) will share three core principles – that you can apply directly to your business – to reduce the overwhelm and approach marketing in a way that actually makes sense for you and your audience. \nIf you’ve been feeling pulled in every direction and not sure where to start\, this session will give you a simple\, repeatable way to cut through the noise – without adding more to your plate. \nAbout our speaker\nCerys Thompson is a communications strategist and the creator of the Resonate with People™ framework – a people-first approach to communication and marketing. \nWith 16+ years of experience in strategic communication\, Cerys helps business owners move from good intentions to intentional marketing – so their message actually reaches and lands with the people it’s meant for. \nHer sessions are practical\, grounded in real stories and designed to give you something you can use right away. \nFind out more: www.ctcommunications.ca

SUMMARY:Cochrane Chamber of Commerce Lunch 'n Learn - How Small Businesses Are Using AI to Take Back Their Week
DESCRIPTION:Description\nJoin us for an AI themed Lunch n’ Learn – refuel and connect over a fresh lunch spread with sandwiches\, fruit and veggies and a sweet treat to enjoy! \n11:00 am – 12:00 pm: Networking & Lunch\n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm: Presentation \nPresentation Description: \nMost small businesses don’t have an AI problem. They have a systems problem and AI just exposes it. In this 30-minute session\, Aaron LeBlanc\, founder of Cochrane-based Hypelocal\, breaks down exactly how local businesses are using AI today to eliminate the invisible bottlenecks that quietly eat 5–10 hours out of every week. No theory. No buzzwords. Real examples from real businesses\, trades\, real estate\, retail\, and professional services\, that have automated the boring-but-critical work and won back their time.\nAttendees will walk away with a simple four-question audit to identify which tasks in their own business are ready to be automated this month\, a take-home handout with the five highest-leverage automations every Cochrane business should have in place by year-end\, and a live demo showing how AI automation can save time and make your business more profitable.\nIf you’ve ever felt like your team is too busy doing low-value work to focus on growth\, this session is for you. \nSession Content: \nA new way to look at your business. A simple framework that helps you spot the invisible bottlenecks costing you 5–10 hours a week and a clear sense of which of those AI can actually fix.\nReal examples from real businesses. Not theory or buzzwords. Specific stories from trades\, real estate\, retail\, and professional services including one cautionary tale about what happens when nobody checks the system’s work.\nA live demo you can actually use.\nA four-question audit you can run the next morning. A simple test to identify exactly which tasks in your business are ready to automate this month and which ones aren’t.\nA take-home one-pager. Five high-leverage automations every Cochrane business should have in place by year-end\, plus the audit on the back.\nThe AI search shortcut. Three things every local business can do this month so Claude\, ChatGPT\, Perplexity\, and Google’s AI Overview can find you before your competitor figures it out. \nFees/Admission: \n$20 for Members\n$25 for Non-Members
