Stun’s Small Business Marketing Refresher
“Hi, I’m Adam and yes, the robots are coming for my job, …
… your job and our nice little businesses that we poured our hearts and souls into.
I’ve designed this course so you can fight back. Thankfully, big tech hasn’t figured out that our businesses and our brand stories can create a deep human connection with our customers that keeps them in love with us and what we offer. That’s what the Stun Small Business Marketing Refresher course is all about. If you run a small online, hospitality, retail or service-based business, this one-day refresher will help you get ready for the robots. They don’t stand a chance against the power of love.”

We’ve run a course like this in the US already. And here’s what they said…
“We were fortunate to have Adam Blackwell share his incredible insights on crafting a successful retail brand at our recent Retailer’s Mastermind Session. His engaging and lively presentation not only inspired our retailers but also encouraged them to rethink their approach to branding, going beyond the surface aspects like logos and colours... even months after the session, member conversations continue to refer back to Adam's training, appreciating the progress and results they've achieved.“

Retail Coach and Founder
It’s a one day Brand and Marketing Bootcamp
There’s no time to waste. This is an intensive, get-stuff-done download and discussion where you’ll complete the day with an action plan to take back to your business.
Only 20 participants will be registered for the Stun Small Business Marketing Refresher so there will be time during the day to focus in on your business specifically and get your questions answered.
“A lot of small business owners get ‘brand’, ‘marketing’ and ‘advertising’ all mixed up. Throw in social media and AI and now everything becomes a mess of where to focus, what to spend a lean budget on, and why nothing seems to work. We’ll sort that out quickly on the course so no-one is confused and we can design a plan that will actually work.”

Here’s what you’ll discover for your business.
Getting right into your customer’s lifestyle and figuring out exactly where you fit in
How to make your brand even more aspirational to your customer – taking it from like to love
Bringing your all-new or refreshed brand to life in the digital and physical worlds
Figuring out where you need experts and which pieces you can do yourself
Easy to use tools to help you look amazing and a lot of them are free
“Many other courses like this focus on theory and the participant is left having to translate that into something practical for them. That’s hopeless. We’re going to make sure everything learned is able to be implemented when you get back to your business the next day, both by you and your employees. Small businesses don’t have the luxury of long lead times and huge budgets. We’ve got to go fast and on a shoestring.”
Adam Blackwell
And here’s what you’ll take away at the end
A summary of what you learned and an action plan for you (and one for your team) to get everything you’ve learned implemented fast
A checklist and schedule so you can track how the changes you make are impacting your business
Understanding, confidence and motivation to win the war against the robots
“Millie and I have approached our businesses with a brand marketing foundation first to build them on. That means we started with how we were going to achieve a strong bond with our customers before we even began thinking about what products or services we would sell! It seems like a crazy approach but in doing so, we have built brands that are known throughout New Zealand and some are now expanding internationally. We’d love to share how we did that with other kiwi businesses.”
