Big Ambitions, Small Budget: Marketing, Branding & PR for Start-Ups (January 2021)

Marketing, Branding & PR for Start-ups

How do I create brand awareness and generate leads? How do I market my start-up, how do I get my message into the press - and that with a very tight budget?

All founders know this: Especially in the start-up phase, you are still unknown on the market and often only have a tight budget. In this three-part online workshop, Peter Goeke teaches how to achieve maximum marketing impact with a small budget.

  • In the first part, we will focus on branding: finding a good name, designing a Minimum Viable Brand, and developing a strong mission and vision statement. Tuesday, January 12, 2021, 1:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. Branding
  • In the second part of the course, we will look at Entrepreneurial Marketing: what makes good content and what media strategy is suitable for young ventures. Tuesday, January 19, 2021, 1:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. Entrepreneurial Marketing
  • In the third part, we focus on public relations: Here we look at what editors look for, what a good PR message looks like and how you can make it on Gründerszene.de even without an established PR network. Tuesday, January 26, 2021, 1:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. Public Relations

Target group: The workshop is aimed at all university members (students, professors, staff and alumni) as well as external participants.
