inFUZEd Marketing Meetups

Become a Wiz in Manufacturing Marketing

Join us for an hour every month on a Monday morning to get infused with marketing knowledge and wisdom. These Remo sessions are the perfect place to ask questions, get answers, and discuss your marketing challenges. Each month, we’ll welcome an expert in a specific aspect of marketing such as website development, public relations, social media, or digital marketing. Come when you can and for all of the informational sessions you’d like to attend.
Our team attends many marketing workshops and meetings, but few offer the knowledge and proven experience in manufacturing to be impactful to us. That is why we attend FuzeHub's inFUZEd series. From the industry experts they bring in as speakers to the effective marketing/content strategies discussed with new connections, we are energized by having a great marketing resource for manufacturing here in New York.

It can be daunting to roll up your sleeves and make plans to apply limited resources to your marketing wish list. There is so much to do, how do you decide what’s important? Once you decide, what is the best way to get started?

Join us in September for this in-person workshop to help you figure out how to create and tackle your marketing journey. Everyone will be able to work through hands-on exercises with a Marketing Mentor at every table to guide you and answer questions.
