Marketing Without the Ick: Show Up, Be Seen, and Share With Heart

Hyatt Regency Calgary - Imperial Ballroom 8

Marketing that's fun, doable, and feels like YOU instead of marketing that's performative and exhausting!

In this one-hour seminar, Rosey draws on over a decade of professional marketing and communications experience, along with years of supporting entrepreneurs, to demystify marketing and make it feel less daunting.

This session reframes marketing as an extension of storytelling and relationship-building, not self-promotion. Writers and creatives will learn how to market themselves with confidence, consistency, and integrity, without copying trends or burning out.

Specifically, you’ll learn how to:

Understand what effective marketing actually looks like behind the scenes
Clarify your message so people quickly understand who you are and what you offer
Build trust and visibility through consistent, relationship-first marketing
Choose the right platforms and strategies instead of trying to do everything
Create a marketing rhythm that feels sustainable and supports your creative work
Plus, market in a way that sparks connections and conversions

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how marketing works, and ideas we'll generate in real time that you can apply immediately.

This workshop is ideal for writers and creatives who want to show up powerfully online, build real momentum, and stop feeling resistance to marketing altogether.
